Are we talking printers? Or tablets and phones?

Meg: In the near term what I would imagine — and this could change, in full disclosure — is I would think tablets, I do not believe we will be in the smartphone business again.

So, in this case my interest is below zero. I need a pocketable device with 3G. For a tablet I'm able to use MeeGo, Tizen, Ubuntu, Android or buy a iPad. Why would I need a additional operating system for a tablet? I use it for surfing the web and a browser is included in every model at the market.

Steve Jobs was really smart. During the announcement of the iPhone he was very modest and said even only 1% marketshare would be enought to make profit. And 1% was a doable target. If it is more it would be fine.

1% marketshare for a open source WebOS device with decent Hardware like a N9 in a N900 package sounds for me very doable. But perhaps I should had studied business economics to understand the big plan behind such decisions.

Let's move on... noting to see here.
