Again I prefer choices you may dislike it but dont piss on the fosscommunity efforts. In the long run also Android will loose on those Microosft deals Nokia doing now!

So I prefer not to be blind like all android fanboys here. Webos and Meego is killed by the companys. Android is next just wait and see. And I dont say this to make fun of it like you do in case of Meego but stop piss on the FOSS community efforts like QT/Meego your totally stupid if you thiink Google Android works without efforts from the rest of the Linux community. And that include Meego!

Were all in the same boat!!!
QT is hardly a reason why it would live or die.. be reasonable, please. I think MeeGo will languish and remain mostly unwanted for a long time, thanks to a lot of recent developments and the image they've created for themselves (a gated community of developers, uninterested in end-users). But it DOES have one clear advantage over WebOS and even the floundering Windows Phone 7 (or case history in BeOS, Geos, GEM, etc.) in that it IS FOSS and has the potential for resurrection and awareness at any time without worrying about getting mothballed forever so long as SOMEBODY is willing to continue supporting it for exactly the reason that is IS free and available at any time while the source code is available.

Sadly, Nokia really did seem to do everything it could to kill it -- thanks in major part to Elop's intentional murder of Maemo & MeeGo, but also to OVP for his neglect over time.
