Because Nokia does not have enough good apps to keep Maemo/Meego, and Nokia does not know how to get developers interested. Plus, the touch screen is not so responsive --- reason: OS/software.

Android is the way to go.
The problem with Android is Nokia would became just another hardware vendor. Nokia like Apple wants to tie software, hardware and serives together - they cannot do that with Android. Google wants to do software and services only but there model is getting muddy with Android on Netbooks and large tablets where it wasn't meant to be.

MeeGo is a smart move. They fix Google's problem by having references for NetBook, tablets and phones. QT ties them all together and you get to expand on a base that's been maturing for years.
