I am a huge, huge fan of something Fedora-esque on "mobile" devices.  I
love the vision you are presenting.

I'd love to see some sort of convergence of Meego with Fedora.

Redhat might have $1B in revenue, but I think they are missing something
equally large in the mobile device market.  I'm not sure how they would
harness the revenue stream, but given what Nokia is paying M$oft for
whatever they call their mobile operating system, I'm sure its possible
to do. 

FWIW, I own an N900.  I bought it expecting it would one day run Meego.
