Well MeeGo seems to only have hindered what Maemo had going for it... if i'm wrong i'd like to be shown why..

don't think it was Elops decision to merge with Moblin so you can't really blame him for those failings. He was pretty much forced into choosing WP7 because of the slow progress of MeeGo (which he is also partly to blame for.. but so is everyone else connected with it)
