I think there's room for MeeGo, as it seems to be the most open and neutral platform. Google already has it's tentacles everywhere, Apple is becoming the new evil (Microsoft) and Microsoft... Well, it's not going to be easy for them either as it was seen with... er... Kin, was it?

However, I also think Nokia and Intel do have to push it hard from the beginning. They need EA to do FIFA and NBA11 to MeeGo smartphones, they need celebrities to go to late night talk shows to show off their latest MeeGo-überphone. They need to have huge coding competitions and be the ultimate super device in a Hollywood (and Bollywood as well) blockbuster movie (like Matrix a few years ago). And of course, queues, stolen prototypes, bloggers, free giveavays based on Twitter messages et cetera.

They just have to make open source the sexiest thing on Earth. Which it is, obviously. We wouldn't be here otherwise, would we?
