I don't understand how people can see this as such a negative thing. Nokia and Intel are both massive, and they are putting their united effort behind ONE open source platform!

heh, the thought that intel have trouble getting traction with moblin, and is piggybacking on maemo just hit me...

Again reinventing the wheel...

I really don't understand this movement. Nokia has developed ARM based devices for years, what now?

This plus the fact that you won't be limited to Nokia as only source for hardware anymore.

It's negative for me because I've spent 600 euros in a mobile computer that hasn't received some of the features promised, that hasn't a properly working software store and that has an uncertain future.

There are a lot of unanswered questions. It is a lot easier for 1 company to develop an OS, than to cooperate with a second one that is currently is a totally different market. SUre netbooks/smartphones/booklets/tablet are merging, but Nokia and Intel have totally different things that they want to gain from this.

You are a glass half empty person I see. What I see is more resources being pumped into application development for our devices.

@FoneArena

Just asked a question if nokia n900 will get meego .. got an answer that developers could make transition easily. .. dunno if consumers can

That sounds to me like: "no".

So with all of the potential uses of this platform we are discussing naming?! As if other industry names (Microsoft, Apple, Blackberry, Wii) are somehow better? please...

What is next? The color choice isnt good enough?
