(and lots of AAS people with him)
Nokia today is WP, Lumia, Qt, S40, Meltemi. And it is still a whole lot of Symbian. It is very little Maemo/MeeGo left, but Qt lives on and a Linux core for Meltemi apparently lives on. But most of all Nokia is HW.
The 808 could very well be the last
real
smartphone. All new OS'es are heading in the "wrong" direction. HW is made according to software spec, not the other way around, and we end up with everything looking and working the same dull way.
Meltemi is made for mid to low end (according to rumors). But being Linux and Qt, there is nothing preventing Nokia from making special devices slightly out of mainstream using this OS. Devices similar to the 808 with out of bounds HW specs. Devices that simply cannot be made with Android/WP due to all the restrictions and slow paste of development. The SGSII is probably the best smartphone overall today even though it is getting old. But there is nothing special about it, it is still just like any other Android phone made according to Google specs.
There is lots of progress going on. Android is part of this, WP and Nokia is part of this. Maemo is not part of this, not anymore.
