It is too late, because now they only have the N9 option. If this goes bad (too geeky usability, too poor ecosystem) they would probably not get another opportunity.

Meego arriving one year early would have given Nokia some capacity to react. Now, if they base EVERYTHING on the N9, it is suicidal. Of course it could go ok, but you just can't take the risk.

So now they've bet for Windows. The N9 is very good, but arrives too late for them. Or you can guarantee that this will be a total hit and will save Nokia?? Do you remember those awesome Palm Pre mobiles?? Nokia just couldn't take the risk at 2011.
