Same old trolling, that is.

MeeGo = Nokia... and Intel.. and Texas Intruments... and Novell... and AMD... and...

The problem is :

Nokia is 2 years behind Android.

iOS was years behind Symbian.

Android was well behind iOS.

In general, your points have no point.

Nokia still has a chance.
Remember N-Gage.
That is one of the best things from Nokia.
Agree???

Why bother creating anything new really, everything has already been done. Anything new will fail.

I promised myself I wouldnt post in this thread, but someone needs to slap some sense into this whiner.

The key point is not 2 years behind,

but 2 years behind and no more new things !

Once the smartphone OS market settle down,

new OS has few chance to involve in.

For example, on desktop OS market, Microsoft is the only player,

Linux can be even ignored. Linux is newer than Windows.

But the result is what ? It failed.

I think the biggest competitor to MeeGo is:

WP7 and WebOS, and also ChromeOS, UNR, Jolibook.

I think the market is big enough (developers/apps/sales wise) for 3 major smartphone divisions. This is no doubt dominated by Android and iOS.
So who becomes the third wheel is as important as ever, and WP7 is showing a headstart. Ofcourse the other OS's can survive as minor alternatives like Symbian/RIM (internationally wise).

But MeeGo is also having difficulty/competition on the other end (tablets/netbooks) and things there are more cloudy (hard to guestimate).

I'm guessing if MeeGo was as ambitious as WP7:
(eg/ they finish (v1.2), released with at least 5 different smartphone choices, at the time WP7 was released, paid developer of popular iOS/Android apps to port in Qt.)
I'd say MeeGo would be in a bigger headstart than WP7, and that if they were effective in their execution of the entire platform, they would definitely become the third most popular.

Right now they will have a hard time to become the fifth, let alone third.
If they were as ambitious (as stated above) but released when Android 2.1 was released (Jan 2010) I'd say they could've potentially been the second most popular (and yes I know MeeGo was only announced Feb, but just saying).

Surely you don't mean Linux failed.

The number one web server OS?

The OS underneath the Android you're so hyped about?

Again: your points are pointless.

Re: Trolling

It takes two to tango.

If your opponent throws you a mean serve, don't return it if you don't plan on playing tennis.

If you don't want to see a particular topic gets debated upon and gets some limelight, don't frickin answer it.

Of course not.

I mean Linux on desktop OS.

1% market share for many many years.
