2015 is my prediction of the year when it starts to become very significant - let's define significant to be that more than 50% of "the apps" would run with non-platform specific code. Of course there will always be the need to have "some" apps natively.

But who am I to predict.
Looking forward to that, 90% of apps today are essentially web site replacements. Its a stupid development.

So the OS will become more or less irrelevant in the future? Fine with me.

No, it's certainly not irrelevant in the future. It is just as relevant as ever. It should actually create a more level playing ground where the best UX would win, not the one that has the largest existing developer ecosystem and/or even developer tools. In that way I would actually see even more flavours and UX fragmentation, on the level of the UI framework and the native apps.

But the way this was handled IS pretty standard corporate practice. It's what lawyers tell you you have to do. At least, it's also what they told us at Quarterdeck.

Yes, of course, you couldn't tell things like that beforehand to Nokia employees. It just wouldn't work.

Well ok but the UX will be written in HTML5 etc. similar to WebOS.

Unfortunately MeeGo (or whatever its name) still has to catch up when it comes to native apps, if it should be a viable option in the future.

Yes, it is standard practice. But it's not imposed on companies by the SEC or any law.

Well you did understand the reasons and explained it pretty well. So there goes the reason why Elop did what he did the way he did it. Why take Quim to task for that.

Of course there is no law, but its called mitigating risks. Explaining to the SEC in case of insider trading or other serious risks or being held accountable for the risks (and going to jail) make it not worthwhile not following the practice. I am not supporting the practice in any way, but there is a reason why it happens - just that.

I love the fact that the Maemo forums are still so active. Hey, don't worry about MeeGo because Maemo isn't even dead yet!
