I can't say I have much faith in Nokia after having witnessed all the missed opportunities of the last ten years.

But I think Meego has a unique chance to be the next cool os: exploit the mix of growing privacy concerns and the absence of peer-to-peer networking in other smartphone os (read: Android and iOS).

After having used a Dell Streak for one week I feel like I have sold my soul to the devil. Right now all the nice cloud services feel great but when the time comes to collect I am afraid what they are gonna do with all they know about me.

Enter Meego: If Nokia or the Foundation would just provide some sort of dnydns-services and Meego or Nokia would provide peer-to-peer social networking (think: "webserver" on the device and software to aggregate data from your friends and software on your PC/server to backup and sync) we could keep our data on our device and know what exactly is given away. I don't know how to translate that into a business model - except for promoting the sales of your hardware but that alone should interest Nokia.
