As I said, hedging their bets. I think your question is a valid one regarding why Meego if WebOS is a no, no for Samsung. Perhaps the connection to Intel? What other reasons could there be? The Linux kernel? Open source development?

PS. I hadn't seen Helmuths post before I replied DS.

I agree on poor management, likely also poor communication and understanding between software and hardware developers, as well as a likely high cost focus logic in a mass producer trying to shift over to high end phones/tablets/computers, a poor understanding of market, or at least a poor acceptance of the market changes when iPhone hit.

Regarding the OVI maps, they are on the N9, so in the end they arrived; not to excuse any Nokia failure to deliver on their promises
(I'm not aware that they promised the OVI maps for the N900, but I've been away from the forum for a couple of years.)

pfff, I would actually like that. That'd already be twice as many handsets as Maemo.

So they would be able to create their own unique device and would be still compatible to all those android apps.
If Samsung wanted Alien Dalvik, they wouldn't need to go through Maemo/MeeGo to get it. They would only need to arch an eyebrow in the right direction. Oh, and pay the developers some. Those who built Alien Dalvik would be just too happy to deliver to Samsung, or anyone, really, as opposed to not delivering to anyone like they do now.

The point is that is higjhly unlikely to have a samsung meego device sooner than 2013. The only thing I can see as plausible is samsung wanting to play with it and take a Nokia approach as an experimental OS and nothiong more.

Netbooks are a bit passé, aren't they? I quite like mine, but I think most consumers prefer fondleslabs for their use cases.

Samsung can still build bada on top of Meego core??

If they do, they have a platform with most linux capabilities, and 6000 apps already prebuilt....

With a possibility of qt, alien dalvik etc, they could be then truly powerful

- Android
- Bada
- WP7

and now Meego? Samsung Note looks tasty and is almost exactly where I would have liked Meego to be now.
