okey.

I know WP is NOT running on TI What I meant was there may very well be a deal with Qualcom before they did the deal about WP.

And because of that Meego was not in that time ready for Qualcom the more logical step was to go WP?

I dont say I am 100 right on this but it is something that has come to mind more than once. TI seems to loose market very much now. Same for Intel... (wo maybe was another failed deal by Nokia? AFAIK Intel STILL cant deliver a decent Handset based CPU...

I see it in a bigger issue, Qualcom and Microsoft are very well in bed with Microsoft, Same goes for Nvidia.

those who feeding HW companies best wins the deal.

That makes me wonder how long Google Android has a chance?
In a longer perspective....

This is not only about "ecosystems and apps" IMHO....

TI is also the loosers AFAIK, Even i they had good ARM CPU:s...

Those feeding Qualcom much money may very well say "well if we user your HW we want the best optimized drivers" (means closed source drivers)

Just ask yourself,. Do you think GOogle is willing enought going that direction? And had that much money doing it? AFAIK google is a "webcomnpany" not a HW company. Even if they try to be "cool" by buuying halfbroken Motorola.

Again I dislike this but... Thats how the damn bussiness seems to work :-(
