btw why will a company like nokia who is going in a heavy financial storm of trouble bother two make 2 devices of an OS that its not even gonna support
all worldly clues seem to indicate that they are hellbent on leaving the meego OS for now
clue 1:Intel CEO called Nokia partnership a wrong move
he would not have done that unless he had some inside certain tidbit of knowledge that Nokia is only putting on a show for now
clue 2:even keynote was focussed on developing devices of tv and other stuff almost excluding tablets and cell phones(kindoff proves that all meego community company partners knew that if nokia has left support which it has meego's gonna have near to zero developer confidence which will leave intel maybe stranded in middle of nowhere .you can see them panicking now that ms has left intel and have now gone on to explore new options .they want to come in this next par-diagram ANYHOW!!!

meanwhile ms desparetly wants to enter this field with its wp7 and knows that its because of its brand name that they are failing
hence they won't take nokia completely but instead will use their brand name and sell ms phones.
so we finally come back to topic that meego is now just a plaything for nokia (something as a small side life) hence almost no nokia collaboration with meego !!!
Even if you have some valid point you forget the facts that Intel is desperatelly seeking for manufactors that will use theyr SoC on Mobileplatform instead of the ARM.

So for them Meego itself is not that important for Intel at it looks. It was more important to get Nokia release some Intel based handsets in the furure. They dont give a **** what platform OS it will use at the end. For example AppUpp also will support Android.

But atm. there is no plan for others to use any Intel HW on handset AFAIK. Maybe some proto from LG? But what more?


Most will use ARM even Microsoft. IMHO Intel is still WAY OFF on handset market. They still has big problems in this area.

And after reading meego-dev about some who got problem with a FAN on ExoPC I till wonder why the **** Intel still needs BIG fans too get the damn CPU working! Thats BIGFAIL Imho.

So I guess its more like Intel was angry cause now Nokia will not release any Intel based HW atleast not now. Not mainly because of Meego. Just my opinion...
