So much for conspiracy. Makes buying an N9 for the purpose of "proving Elop wrong" pretty fruitless, doesn't it? Even worse, people expecting some sort of support after all these actions. Elop is either lying to them about support, or he's clinically stupid. Possibly both.

There we go.. a less light-hearted posting for ya. Seared on the outside and heavy on the cynicism, just as you ordered. In all seriousness, though, you're absolutely right on my view and the reasoning.
May I remind you, as a Finnish native having red the original article to which you are referring to, that the original printed article was pretty focused on the main modus of operation for Nokia. In context, it is understood that Elop was referring to the Main Platform for Nokia smart phones, the WM7. He was reassuring that even in the case where N9 would become extremely successful, the Main Platform for Nokia would not be the OS in the N9 - i.e. MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan.

No other mention of the in-context small portion of the N9 and it's future, which was in the powerpoints released earlier still in the 'future disruptions' dept.
