I see. But here's what people miss, they are looking at MeeGo the wrong way. I could say that glass is half empty: look that company makes no real smartphones although they sell the most mobiles worldwide and their software/hardware offerings are clearly behind, just look at their track record.

But here's a way to look the half full glass:
We have seen dramatic increase in mobile hardware in the last 2 years. If you asked someone (even a dev) 2 years ago if N64 would work on a phone they'd just laugh What MeeGo is doing is paving the way for tomorrow, not focussing on today. iOS and Android have basically reached their limits, they have either a lack of cross-compatability or a lack of an effecient software stack (java).

Just like how Apple came to be, they just did what others did (Apps, UI) in a better package and stole WinMobile's market ... MeeGo could do the same. It must use the weaknesses of the other platform to its advantages. Against Apple, it must show that MeeGo is sexy and what you need to buy (refer to Futurama episode) with great offerings and aggressive advertising.

It will be harder against Android, it must release something to the caliber of the Nexus One and show that Apps (like an emulator) really do run "faster" (than java).
Next it must also release another phone that's cheaper and weaker (like G1) and show that the same App also runs (not as fast though) regardless of the processor difference (ARM11 vs A8) and another MeeGo device on another platform (x86) that also supports the Apps.

Once they really polish the whole package (software/hardware), demonstate its advantages (against Android) and give it an equal sex-appeal it will sell. First Nokia, then other OEMs like LG, Samsung etc could enter the fray.
We may even find those first-gen netbooks (replace XP/Ubuntu) useful.
