Now I know why they announced it in Asia. iphone is only now beginning to penetrate that market and they hope that N9 will give iphone crazed crowd an alternative. N9 will not sell well in the US
Sorry, but I believe that for the first time Nokia have a product aligned with the US average consumer.

Even Gizmodo and Engadget resident Nokia prosecutors couldn't talk anything but praise to it, the only thing they said that MeeGo is a "zombie" because Elop is prioritizing WP7. By the feedback online, N9 can seriously make Nokia rethink their strategy - not moving away from WP7, but giving MeeGo more chances in the spotlight.

And I wouldn't fret about the UI so much. I'm sure the community will provide all the desktop feel and Maemo bells and whistles that we all love. That way it will be ven better: the device can appeal to both publics, geek and average.
