Honestly Nokia keeps surprising me with its choices ,it seems like the decision makers at Nokia didn't learn their lesson watching Google or Apple in action ... there we have two companies that decided to stick to an OS (each to its own .... android and iOS) and support it producing upgrades that leave the costumer satisfied for e.g. an iphone 2g owner (almost four years old device) is still receiving firmware upgrades (it can be upgraded to ver 3.1.3) and almost every android device is receiving upgrades either by the manufacturers or by its community giving that Google is still supporting their OS as well ... as for nokia's n900 which is their top of the line device at the moment loaded with maemo ,is now abandoned and their maemo is sentenced to death after almost two years of development to move to MeeGo which they announced at first that there will be an official release for the n900 giving its owners ( and I am one of them ) false hope that there might be a happy ending to the story … and by the time they released the shameful pr 1.2 they also managed to spread frustration by retracting their official support to Meego on n900 (the part that bothers me the most is that the n900 is their official mobile development device so there won’t be any extra work for them writing drivers ,testing etc….) .

Let’s just hope the 3 year late Meego will have a different future from its successor meamo the same goes for symbian 4 although I have no idea how will they manage supporting two OS s by manufacturing devices that will compete with each other forcing developers to choose one OS over the other for their applications rather than unifying their devices under one OS and start taking a real place in the competition in the high end mobile devices market.

Thank you.
