To be blunt, Nokia is saying one thing, and the media something else. Nokia aays that the software platform for mobile phones is Symbian (which is now outsourced to Accenture), and for "SmartDevices" the platform is Linux - and here Maemo was said. Then they announced the WP7 phone that they were to develop for Microsoft, and the media then reported this as Nokia's new platform. However, what Nokia has stated is that all WP7 devices are to be developed by Ericsson, so this is outsourced to their former competitor.

Then Nokia has aquired the software company with the Qt technology / tools. This is based on KDE which is MeeGo. That journalists are ignorant ****s is no news to me, but that analysts with the large consulting companies base their results on hearsay is a shame. It is too easy to set up a web-site and write unfounded rumours and your own wishful thinking. The problem is that the search engines does not discriminate between Gartner and Strand, McKinsey and TomsOwn. I see many make assumptions here, that are based on hearsay, and not statement released by e.g. Nokia. I have every press release from Nokia, and taken my fight with Reuters. Use the term "what they say..." and separate this from the offocial statements made by the company.
