In case that this device is so revolutionary many of you are claiming here, why would Elop allow such device to be released with Meego, and not with WF7/8?

After all, he is dedicated to promoting the eco$i$tem.

That sort of the decision would surely move somebody like Rich Green.
I agree but it's not clear if he actually is leaving Nokia as I've also read that he is on medical leave from I believe market watch. I could be wrong.

And maybe your right, perhaps since delusional Elop is so determined to pursue the WP7 fantasy of his, Rich probably thought that this "disruptive" Meego/Harmattan platform will never really get the credit that it deserves.

Look at the disaster that Elop has already done on Feb 11 by killing off symbian rather than wait till they actually had a wp7 device. He probably didn't want the board to say for example. "look, symbian sales are not doing so bad, in fact it's getting better, let's keep it for now." since he had his own agenda.

In my opinion I think that Elop is doing exactly that with the N9. Kill it before users can give it a positive feedback.

EDIT: Do we even know for sure that this device will even be announced around the end of June? I know Rich said that there would be one device released this year, but I don't recall Elop saying that.

EDIT: And that device that Elop pulled out @ D9 may very well be a new symbian device. I hope I'm wrong.
