Elop didn't kill the N9, but he deprived it of oxygen, which produces the same result eventually.

Seems to me that they really needed to go back to the drawing board a couple more times:

From your post:

But I’m really tired of ecosystem because, as I had intended to share in my presentation, I don’t think it’s really so much about the garden or the plants. I think it’s more about elements like earth, air, water and fire. The stuff of services. Deep down, do people actually care about brands? Don’t they care much more about the experience? So if my Philips television (with Samsung guts) could cheerily and seamlessly share with my Nokia phone doesn’t that make product branding irrelevant? Give me Bluetooth, wifi and NFC combined with open data standards like XML and you have the service elements of my ecosystem. Just add seeds.

Fully agree, people don't want to be locked in an ecosystem, but unfortunately this is the business model everyone is after these days. To some degree I can understand it, because I think its easier to innovate on a grand scale if you control all parts of the consumer experience.
