Re: Amazing - Elop lays the axe on Symbian, MeeGo and QT

Nokia just jumped the shark. I guess there's still a lot of jobs for meego but that seems rather perilous atm especially since they just alienated a lot of people who would be into meego.

I'm envisioning some hard plastic case which has an embedded micro-USB cable to keep the internal connector from having a lot strain put on it.
