A third way: A MeeGo program to help device providers identify the best way to distribute devices - that might be identifying individuals they should prioritise, or identifying opportunities for workshops/MeeGo Meet-up giveaways, or allowing them to co-ordinate contests/application programs through meego.com. In other words, MeeGo positions itself as a place where companies go to have hardware programs be coordinated & work effectively, but the provider is still doing most of the work. All that's required on the part of MeeGo is a decision that allowing this kind of co-branded activity is OK, and a community desire to help with specifying device programs (perhaps a Device Program Delta Force Squad?).
