+ Qt and Symbian.

Cons:
- Competitors have significantly more userbase: aids in marketing, aftersales support, secondary market.
- Competitors have significantly more developers: Continuous new content, quicker to package/channel new trends into their ecosystems.
- Competitors have significantly more apps: More features and functionalities to cater to all sorts of niche userbases.
- Competitors already have significantly more 3rd party accessories, services, tie-ins and whatnot.

Without a very significant unique selling point, I'm afraid MeeGo may be too little too late.
Agreed.

But most of the cons couldmve been applied to Android or iOS at their birth - and they have done quite well, I believe...
