Who will make Meego devices?
 

Since Meego will run on a variety of different devices, why would Nokia want to allow say HTC or Samsung to make a Meego smart phone? Will Nokia discourage this type of competition? I want to know how Nokia plans to make money in the long run because surely margins on manufacturing devices will eventually diminish.

How many manufacturers put Symbian on their phones?

this as been spoke about a while back on another site i use and the conclusion was this is a reason why nokia is building a big services arm as in ovi b/c long term future there will be no money in selling hardware it will all come from the services you offer a user on it

Well, I'll take a guess at the title question:

A: Maybe LG

Re: Who will make Meego devices?
 

Believe it or not but apparently it`ll be LG with it`s LG GW990 to first put the MeeGo to it`s paces. Kind of disappointed here o_O as I was thinking that perhaps N900 will get a solid chance being the testing platform it is currently. Check out THIS LINK for more mind blowing info...

Nokia?...Well, the reason why i like nokia is because i like their built quality ... no one can top that. Yes, I know the OS is a little dull now but hardware wise compare to samsung and some other companies Nokia still stands solid.

What "services" are these? Comes with music has failed, navgation is now free, Nokia phones tend to have a lot of software out the box so you need less apps. Even in the best case scenario OVI sales cant amount to much.

Maybe now I'll be able to replace my N800 Tablet !

Here's hoping Dell drops then Mini5 with Meego/Maemo6:D

Hey Nokia/Intel: I want a version for my Atom netbook too!

ovi music is much more than just CWM. you can purshase music traditional itunes way too and Ovi music is doing very good in some Countries
Ovi maps is not as free as ppl think cost as just been integrated into future devices.
what makes more sense sell a 100k licenses at £50 a shot or add few unnoticeable £ on top of cost of 20 million devices a year and make maps a default feature.

Re: Who will make Meego devices?
 

I agree. I REALLY like the build quality of my N810 but it does not seem as if Nokia has a tablet in their lineup any time soon.

Being able to use MeeGo/Maemo6 on an actual tablet of say, hoping, 7 inches would be awesome.

Funny, I thought MeeGo would make me abandon Nokia all together - but in the end it may be the OS that brings me BACK to Nokia (software) on a device manufactured by someone else.

And still the world turns.

Maybe this is how I'll end up with a "Maemo" netbook/smartbook/non-pocketable-tablet :-)
