It is too late !

At that time, iOS and Android will be even stronger.

Plus, WP7 will also rises.

WebOS and BlackBerry OS will be the supporting role on smartphone market in the future.


Back to MeeGo,
The corpration between NOKIA and INTEL is not that good.

NOKIA will not open their UI on N9 to INTEL, and INTEL only want to sell x86 CPUs. Supporting ARM is just to get NOKIA involved.

x86 MeeGo phone will release on 2011Q4.
There will be no chance at that time.

Intel do not need MeeGo necessarily.
It welcome Apple to use x86 CPU.

The only result I can see now is ofono and connman.

IMO,
NOKIA is now struggling, but will not be a main game player in the future on smartphone market.

Symbian is not good enough, MeeGo is too slow, I cannot see any hope.
erm, won't comment on IOS, because its flaws are well known and have already been debated to death. If you're a member of this forum, you've already read it somewhere. As for android, i'm not too impressed by it either. yes its linux kernel based, but with just a lotta java stuff thrown on top, also it too has its stability issues, as i have found. Now WP7 is just getting started and if the way the os is setup to run is indication, it'll just be a competitor for iFools. There isn't anything quite like meego/maemo, and i'm perfectly fine not having a commercially successful OS on my phone, since i care more about its functionality for me versus, whether i see everyone running around with one. I don't necessarily see meego as being a failure unless the competitors you mentioned fix the glaring issue within their own OS's ( lack of multitasking, openess to system customization, crappy widget support, etc ) If they haven't got their act together by the time meego is launched, it could well give it to them hard where the sun doesn't shine.

While my n900 has flaws, none are truly major for me personally. of course i have a small wish that it had more nifty 3d games, but since i have a psp, i'm not really bothered.
