I think the concept and value of ecosystem is not understood - at all around here. Android is open source, everyone can slam Android onto their phone/tablet, but the Google ecosystem is tightly controlled by Google. MeeGo is only a (hardly) working OS, but there is no MeeGo ecosystem. For that reason alone MeeGo is dead for Nokia.

WP is an OS and Nokia produces the hardware. This will be a great system, but the really big thing is the ecosystem. Next year Nokia will start selling tablets and other mobile devices running Windows 8, they will be tied in to the same ecosystem, the same ecosystem as billions of PCs.

I see a great future for this ecosystem
