Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

Bullocks! Symbian is number one smartphone OS, and there is nothing in the industry that indicates this will change. The Nokia 5800 is the number one touch screen smart phone in numbers sold. Try figuring that out when "everybody" hates Symbian and "everybody" hates Nokia and "everybody" wants Android/iPhone/Win7.

Nokia and Symbian have had a dip lately, due to lack of high end devices that can compete with iPhone and high end Androids. This has changed, and the rest of this year, and the whole next year will be the year of the Nokia. :D

Meego is already being sold on tablets with 3g, HDMI, multitouch etc etc, and thanks to the success of the N8, the N9 will come as well. The N9 will not be a smartphone though, but can be used as such, just like the N900.

MeeGo will be huge. It will shake the foundations of the whole industry from (advanced) phones via tablets to PCs, and everything else that we never see.

I have some questions for you...

This is a very stupid point to make.

It is never too late. IOS rose from nothing in 2007, to slowly become very successful. Android rose from nothing in 2009 and is slowly becoming very successful. It is never too late.

How on earth do you know this?


Why is Symbian not good? How do you know if Meego is slow when it hasn't been released?

Stating things without valid reasons only make YOU look bad.

Why do you think so?

You are just making statements without any reason or thought behind them..

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

everything is always to some extent too late b/c there will always be something to topple it of its mantle round the corner.
was android too late b/c iOS and the likes? NO, is WP7 too late b/c android beat it to market? does not look like it, as a lot of support
so why does MeeGo have to be too late? it could be the next bid thing, there is always the next big thing

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

OP: "IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!" - You're damn straight, MeeGo is going to kill iOS, Android and any other mobile OS out there.

Now, seriously, why should anyone be listening to you? You've obviously spent so much more time studying this subject. I guess we should all take your word for it above those of us that have actually been working with the platform ...

You're blatantly doing that thing that a lot of other users seem to want to do on here to blow off steam. Try getting a boyfriend or something and stop *****ing.

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

Lol! Maemo as a tragedy... it have been the best OS for handhelds so far. iOS and Android would not have sufficed for me.

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

+1, Maemo 5 is the best for me than all others, and Meego will be much better than maemo for sure, but we will see this in one year...

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

you r wrong my friend. MeeGo will be strong enough to compete with other OS . Therefore, it is delayed till 2011. During that time, Nokia & MeeGo team will study the markets well as the OS in order to make it powerful. so cut this idea from your mind. it will be something great man.

Pros and cons of MeeGo on Nokia...

Pros:
+ Open.
+ More robust.
+ Size of Nokia (and Intel?) behind it.
+ Newer, less saturated platform. May be appealing to new developers. NOT a selling point to most users.
+ Qt and Symbian.

Cons:
- Competitors have significantly more userbase: aids in marketing, aftersales support, secondary market.
- Competitors have significantly more developers: Continuous new content, quicker to package/channel new trends into their ecosystems.
- Competitors have significantly more apps: More features and functionalities to cater to all sorts of niche userbases.
- Competitors already have significantly more 3rd party accessories, services, tie-ins and whatnot.

Without a very significant unique selling point, I'm afraid MeeGo may be too little too late.

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

I really hope MeeGo does well and takes off. Its going to be more contingent on user experience over ANYTHING else. What is the user's experience on the device going to be like?

Nokia already has or has had its fingers in a lot of the markets that it needs to be really successful with a new OS in the modern era.
What kind of experience do consumer's want?

• Music - Comes With Music / Ovi Music
• Gaming - NGage
• Internet Browsing - Maemo devices
• Personal Information Management - Long history of Symbian E devices
• Core Calling Features - This has always been Nokia's core strength
• Applications - Ovi Store and Qt Development SDK

The list could go on, but Nokia really needs to pull those services together and integrate them well, just like Microsoft is doing with Windows Phone 7.

Lacking that integration and inclusiveness on DAY 1, and MeeGo will fail.

To be honest I think that each of your cons is far more negative than all of your positives combined.

as long as Meego is similar to Maemo i dont care, i wish ive known maemo sooner, only when i bought the n900 that i got introduced to this wonderful os...
