i was really excited to leave symbian and join maemo,
and am still impressed with it everyday, and still think its the best os and phone (n900) currently available (almost a year after release)

then thought nokia had lost the plot dropping it for meego, but after reading they had teamed up with intel i got excited again,

then i saw all the leaked pics and vids of meego and dont like what i saw to be honest

i always thought apple did so well because osx sells lots of apps, generating lots of money for developers, and increasing device sales because of it

as for nokia:
symbian users would use a dodgy cert to install free cracked apps,
and maemo users can just install anything, even the paid apps are available free somewhere,
and ovistore is a mess and a nightmare for devs (apparently)
its not looking good for nokia at all, but i wouldnt put it past them to pull off something amazing with meego

regardless, i wont buy a nokia device again until its been on the market for at least 6months, no more pre-orders for me
