Say you buy the MeeGo device at the end of the year: do you want it to be like a VW or a Bugatti? I bet YOU want the latter, and in the phone market you're not going to keep getting it if too few others are interested. (Unless you want Vertu)

Surely there must be a way to advertise heavily while being adequately truthful at the same time. Putting your greatest features out there and making consumers think they're dealbreaker-level important doesn't require acting like you invented everything, but wowing consumers needs to be done to some degree or it's game over.
