I guess it is good for the consumer to have choices. I pity the manufacturers trying to keep up in this intense competition for the handheld devices. To capture the market and our insatiable thirst for novelty, revolutionary leaps are necessary for companies to make name and waves. We can argue one way or another whether iphone was revolutionary or not, but it certainly changed the way a lot of manufacturers now work, and it became the most recognized name in the world. It forced NOKIA to open the Ovi Store and to begin improving its support for smartphones as welll as enter the field of touchscreen phones/tablets/computers. NOKIA is smart to go with MeeGo, but they are few years behind with a consumer wide product that rivals other touchscreens. In order for NOKIA to regain its name and popularity they need to come up with a revolutionary device. Will MeeGo devices fulfill the criteria of a "revolutionary" handheld? I doubt it. I think that NOKIA prefers to work by adopting what is successful with unique modifications, and use its brand name recognition and distributions in many countries (except US), to push these devices. But I do not expect anything revoutionary from Meego, nor NOKIA. The revolutionary leap will come from a smaller manufacturer, hungry to penetrate the market like Apple did 3 years ago......just not sure who that be yet........
