It's pretty clear they caused it, if Nokia or anybody else tries to blame a lack of direction on Intel they are very much mistaken. Put yourself in Intels shoes. You partner with Nokia who then out of the blue kills its support for it. This leads the general public to believe Meego=Nokia and Nokia dropping support means Meego is a dead platform. what should Intel do?

1) Rebranding

You now have no handset partner. What do you do?

2) Approach the biggest you can, Samsung

Samsung negotiate to include aspects of thier linux mobile OS LiMo. Qt becomes something that does not benefit Samsung or Intel directly so it's not compulsory but is not closed to it.

3) Tizen is born
