Nokia cannot afford to screw-up Meego - there just isn't enough margin-of-error for them to make any mistakes.

Nokia need to start "hyping" Meego and generate enough buzz to get Developers interested.

Nokia need to think long-term with Meego its now the only chance they have left of competing in the smartphone sector.

They funny thing is they developed maemo to the point of stability and then decided to go with something new. This was a big mistake and now there is an enormous amount of pressure for them to produce something and do it fast.

Nokia need to understand that their Symbian products are not the answer to thier long-term growth. People are now expecting much more from their mobile phones.
First of all the hype around MeeGo is pretty big.. and what? they decided to go with something new?? MeeGo isn't "new" in a sense.... It's really what Maemo + Moblin is right now + more.. (Since Moblin and Maemo were really similar in many ways).. Also it's a really good thing that MeeGo is being developed NOT just by Nokia but also Intel.. and finally MeeGo should be more open than Maemo which is also a plus.. so it's really not a "big mistake" it's more of a "big advantange".

Not to mention that the N9 will have the Harmattan software on it.. so it really is Maemo 6...
