These two guys are the CEO and Chief Development Officer of the world's largest handset manucacturer, and one could imagine they always know the latest news and development status of the company's most important operating system project - MeeGo. But not in this case, as they describe it. They just get a whitepaper marked with different colors in January, and all of a sudden they both realize that MeeGo isn't going to be ready.

Come on. If this really is true, how come Öistämö still works as a CDO in Nokia? He's the one who should constantly know every single bit of the latest process, when it comes to MeeGo.

Either this is just a badly written story to make MS partnership look better, or really, really bad management.

I go on Bad managment. Big companys always loose control and thats what has happened to Nokia.

This has been discussed before and there where people leave the Nokia ship long before Mr Elop entered the ship.

Maemo could have gone way faster progress if they got resources. I guess one reason it slowed down was when Nokia bought Qt 2008. Its now 2011 it first now Qt is stable enought on Symbian and Maemo/Meego. That means Maemo6 couldnt be stable until recently. This is the facts. We cant blame Elop or Microsoft for this.

Another thing that did slow down progress on Maemo is merge with Moblin. This is still not fully done as we all know. Now everyone seems to blame Nokia for this? but I am sure there is two sides of that too.

So maybe the only solution in short run IS WP. I still hope on Maemo or Meego in Nokia land and I think it is possible not as mainos but as an complement. Asiancountrys prefer Linux and dislike Microsoft. Nokia want to sell well in this countrys too.

And if the new phone Maemo sells well they cant just dish it cause then stockholders would not trust Nokia and they loose even more.

I am the one who also said Microsoft will buy Nokia 2013. But if we think about it what the HELL would Microsoft winning on buy Nokia!?

Cause if they do they cant sell any WP licenses to any other hw company?

There also is another thing: Just heard that Nokia will have its own "AppStore". If Microsoft would buy Nokia why the hell is they allowed to setup theyr own store? Its

I see it in another way. Microsoft is more desperate than Nokia too get the damn Wp to success! Thats why they need Nokia. They need a big trusted COmpany that sells alot of WP phones and then other manufactors will follow.

Not because they will buy Nokia.

I think Maemo will still continue inside Nokia. Hopefully we will see one device atleas one per year or two years intrerval. And thats totally okey imho. Personally I dont give a **** if it will be mainstream as long as it is supported in some way.

I yes I know there is stupid rumors about Meego will be killed at Nokia 2012 but I dont give a **** about those stupid rumors possible payed rumors by Apple or Google... (To make the stock even more shaky for Nokia)
