An Android only phone is as worthwhile to me as a Win 7 phone. That is, I don't want either and have no intention of ever purchasing one, other than the G1 I bought as an early Android adopter. So should Nokia drop Meego and run with Android. First I have a resounding, "No". Secondly, do I care if they do, not really. If they do this then I just take my time, and $ elsewhere, no harm, no foul. I don't care about Nokia's prolonged existence as it isn't in my best interest to. For the fact alone that they have made a few pseudo open sourced software/hardware "experiments" they are in my favor. I don't swear my allegiance to them or any other large corp.. For instance the fact that Microsoft has donated to open source projects doesn't make me a supporter of Microsoft.

Perhaps it is in Nokia's best interest to use Android but I'm not really interested in their interests. From a personal economic view I understand why payed developers might be interested in speculating on this question. How to make bread as an open source *. I say good luck to all those attempting such employment and I hope that it becomes much, much easier in the future, though there is little sign that this will be the case. I end this by saying something trite, it's awfully important to support developers, and if at all possible get rid of big corporations. Peace!
