Re: What Nokia should have done with maemo/meego
They should have released 2 meego handset in may or June of this year 1 midrange 1 highend both with quad band gsm and cdma variants. They should have began marketing meego this month after announcing the devices at MWC this includes a few magazine and newspaper ads and 1 or 2 commercials. They should have offered incentives for North American carriers to carry the phones, not an ongoing thing but something to get them in stores and into consumer hands to start building a brand here. They should have released 2 additional devices around November this year another highend and midrange device. They should have worked to broker a deal with hp/palm to bring ovi maps and services as well as QT to WebOS in exchange for manufacturing WebOS phones and use that as a possible migration strategy for symbian, remember Palm was huge for mobile devices not long ago and still has a good developer following. This would have allowed them to begin scalling back symbian development and increase meego development, all the while bringing third party development to another platform increasing it's developer community.
