Come on guys everyone on here is talking like MeeGo will be dead in the water if Nokia does not support it.
For one Nokia is not the only company investing in MeeGo far from it just google MeeGo development.The far east China ect are gonna pick this baby up big time towards the end of the year into next.
Secondly Nokia is giving away development devices for developers partly to show how easily Symbian Qt apps can be ported. Its practically no work at all. In the other N9 is here thread there is a good link to an interview with a Nokia product manager.

He said "We also ensure that the entire Austrian applications we have in store for Symbian, even at the start of MeeGo will be ready"
Quim Gil has also stated that parts of the UI will live on into future devices, that to me says Qt development all the way.
WP will start to roll at the same time and maybe it will be a success but I think after the N9 the stage will change and it won't be long before another big phone maker picks up MeeGo. Since alot of it is open I would say its highly likely that its going on already.
