If you want usable results, please post an actual poll in the Community section. I think this little non sequiter has run its course here. ;)

The real question isn't to know if MeeGo is Dead for Nokia. But if Nokia is Dead For MeeGo.

MeeGo will survive with other manufacturer ... Nokia probably not with MS.

wtf is it with ppl crying about "ecosystem" = "vendor lock in".....

here is a hint - vendor lock in makes the vendors money...

and what is the aim of a company ?

... and what you expect these entities to be charities ?

At the end of the day - SOMEONE has to pay to build this stuff - and unless YOU are paying it - you have no right to criticize corporate strategy when the chosen strategy is one that is inline with the corporation's goal.

If you are unhappy, buy a dumb phone that has no ecosystem, or build and sell your own Meego phone.

Nope, it's not dead. In fact, even Symbian's not dead. It will bring updates and such for the next two years or so.

Re: is Meego Dead for Nokia ?
 

Too much asking for some upstream GNU/Linux distro to integrate many of the MeeGo components and library and some company release a SoC complete with drivers?
I will be fine with an Arch For Smartphone or a Debian Mobile. No need of such things as markets or ecosystem. I have a huge repository and i'm fine with it.

Speaking about the drivers: supposing some device in the future sports a Mali 400 GPU (like some rumors about the mythic N9), this link will be somewhat useful in a MeeGo-Related fashion?

Re: is Meego Dead for Nokia ?
 

As a paying customer, I am paying for it. It is not the duty of paying customers to concern ourselves with what is best for giant corporations. We don't like vendor lock-in because it is bad for consumers in the long run. Nobody is doubting the benefits for the vendor. It just might be that the interests of the vendor and those of the consumer are not perfectly aligned.

Re: is Meego Dead for Nokia ?
 

Still no MeeGo for n900 users then?
There's a surprise.
Still people saying it's coming?
There's a surprise.
Oh, what about "it's only for developers"?
That's a good one.

Any sign of this new Nokia mobile keyboard-free device running some sort of Franken-Maemo/MeeGo-stein UX yet?

Just installed MeeGo 1.2 on VirtualBox - it runs slower than Debian, Mint, Fedora, XP or Windows 7 running at the same spec. Tried doing the hack for graphics - originally for 1.0 and adapted for 1.1. Doesn't seem to work on 1.2.

But, I am sure I am wrong for saying this.

I see nothing has changed since I was last here. I was given a second-hand e71, I find it quite useful.

I am sure somebody here recommended VirtualBox to me - I would like to thank them, as it is great. I can get rid of those aging dual-boot PC's, and run stuff on the laptop instead (although I will need to keep the one that still has a serial port and XP which is indispensible for firmware updates to celestron & skywatcher telescope mounts)...
