Did the smarter OS sell well enough to make the dumber OS not an option?

Here's a hint: no

In a day and age where the most mediocre of mediocre products is still in use by a majority of people, you have to wonder if being the smartest and best is even worth it. Bimbos get all of the attention. Windows still has majority share.

Idiocy in tech is not new.

There is no return from windows. Nokia will live or die with it, unless something revolutionary pops up. Sadly the have nothing revolutionary

You would not believe how many people I know who have said "Nokia make great hardware and would buy their phones if they released them with Android".

I personally would not want to see it happen but android would cause a sharp rise in shares right now. Although I can't see it being a good idea for the long haul.

As I have cited many times from my weekly experience on Android 3.2 or 4.0 (@ Asus Transformer TF-101) :
- open many web pages in default web browser or Opera, do anything else and come back, in some cases the open web pages are reloaded, open Youtube video is restarted, etc;
- open a PDF document with the many PDF readers (Adobe Acrobat, etc), do anything else and come back, then you have a chance of loosing your document state, starting again from page 1.

There are other cases (involving programming tools, etc), but I cite the 2 above because every typical user can experience them and be aware that THERE IS NO PROPER MULTITASKING IN ANDROID ! That's it. Simple. It is silly to the have dual/quad-core processors using a so limited mobile OS.

1)
In Android, if you want your application to do something also when in the background, you should code a separate service thread which has the code which can be run also in the background. For example, you won't put any GUI-drawing or refreshing code in that thread.
In reality, many softwares for Android aren't coded as you cited (using a separated service thread).

So Android doesn't have as good multitasking as Maemo/MeeGo.

Sorry, iOS doesn't have real multitasking either. Multitasking of Android, iOS and WP7 isn't proper multitasking.
