Just saw Marko's video talking about MeeGo on Leweb.

It seems that Nokia will use a new inform system.

But I do not think it can save Nokia on high-end smartphone market.

It is the developers and apps that really matters.

Just beautiful UI is not enough, like another Palm.

Apple has got the most support from developers and have many great apps.

Android has the most powerful hardware.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 also spent a lot of many to invite developers.

What is Nokia doing now ?

A lot of doom, gloom for something that's not even out in consumer's hands.

Nah, no trolling, just same old same old. Maybe if Nokia had half an ear open they might listen. MeeGo, what a crock of shite. Another OS that's gonna be adopted by devs and then dropped by Nokia in favour of the next iteration.

Wait, so you are saying Nokia should just become another Htcdroidotorolamsung? Pride people, pride! Nokia ain't going down without a fight. Come hell or high water, they're banking on MeeGo and I say all power to them. When you have a losing hand, the best bet is "all in" . Always.

The problem with that logic is that even if Nokia does drop it, it won't matter. There's still the Linux Foundation, Intel, and every other large scale adopter. Even if Nokia never put out another MeeGo product again, everyone else still probably will.

Not to mention that Nokia and Intel threw quite a lot of money on getting people interested in MeeGo. There's threads on that MeeGo conference (or was it Nokia World? IDK), describing just that. So that takes out the Windows 7 point of the initial post.

The Android point just... doesn't make sense? Best hardware? The N900 is a year old or so and it still overperforms so many phones out there. And the N8 certainly shows supperiority to quite a few things. In fact, when was the last time Nokia's latest flagship phone didn't come with better or at least matching hardware vs. the competition? Yeah, Android has better hardware platforms NOW... because MeeGo isn't on any mass-produced devices yet (unless you count the N900s running development builds). They'll no doubt equal out when the mass market MeeGo handhelds hit.

As for the iPhone point - if MeeGo retains the right aspectas of its roots, MeeGo will not only have Qt applications, but it will also hopefully keep being able to run uncompiled Python, Perl, and Ruby, as well as a bunch of other coding languages. The iPhone developers are numerous now, but it's also going to become far more advantageous to develop for MeeGo when it takes off, because your Qt apps can go anywhere MeeGo will be, which will be a lot more places than just phones.

If anything, MeeGo has simple mass adaptation of predecessors (by users more so than developers) and Apple's marketing to fear - not actual objective disadvantages. That's not to say there won't be any, but there's no indicators of specific ones yet.

Dude, you like to troll much? Most of your threads if not all have the same exact point against Nokia.. and how Nokia is going to fail.. If you don't like Nokia.. then just leave please.
