Yes, it shows that the N9 is cool. But the article fails on one important point. Nokia is not all about WP, Nokia is not all about MeeGo, it is not all about Symbian or all about S40 or S30. Nokia has always had the ability to do several things at once. This black and white, right or wrong talk is fanboy bloggers talk. The real world does not work like that. We will see more MeeGo devices from Nokia. Nokia will probably sell around 5-10 ish millions MeeGo devices per year. This is more than enough to make MeeGo sustainable. WP will sell much more and the ecosystem will be gigantic in comparison, but a large portion of that ecosystem will also be available for Nokia-MeeGo. An ecosystem is much more than just apps.

Qt will be available for S40 as a new and lighter smartphone family. That ecosystem will be humongous, and Nokia-MeeGo will be able to take every advantage from that. And Symbian? who knows what the accenture people (former Nokia, former Symbian) is able to cook up when they are free to develop Symbian as they see fit without Nokia poking at every detail.

Nokia is so much more than WP/no WP that the article is more like a comedy, a farce. But. nice to know he liked the N9 though.
