Samsung seems to be doing pretty much exactly the same thing as Nokia did back then.

Quite the opposite imo. The more the (MeeGo) devices, the more the adoption of MeeGo will be. And this will drive more developers to the platform and directly/indirectly lead to a vast (and perhaps quality) Application library.

The fact that Qt & Linux can be served in such a cross-platform solution will only multiply that.

For once I see that Apple is actually playing catch-up in its own field. I mean Apple started the smartphone revolution but HTC expanded it with the G1 and Nexus One. So the best chance for MeeGo is today and if it could serve killer hardware, great software integration, include tasty functions (from desktop os linage) and show promise by releasing a tablet (its the craze) with 1:1 App compatibility with the phone device.

These are all possible, perhaps even easy with the tools (Qt), that needs to be available now. As soon as Froyo arrives, iPhone 4 released and the Google tablet is released, things are going to look more obsolete for MeeGo.
