But after the Meego announcement I just completely lost interest and I reckon that's what happened to a lot of other people. I was excited about Maemo because it finally appeared as if Nokia had decided to push this as their next big platform - and when Nokia left it hanging - well - there's nothing left. For me I'd rather just stick with Symbian until they get their act together.
I don't think Nokia killed it with Meego, rather that boosted interest in the maemo platform (or rather it's qt compatibility with future meego devices). It's Nokia's handling of PR 1.2 that is killing things. Nobody can get their apps tested if nobody has PR 1.2.

Not to mention there were a few games demoed a while back which are non-existent. probably due to a combination of ovi store and 1.2.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
