Feh. Symbian is a stronger brand name than iOS. iOS was predicted to take it all. Android has gained more share in shorter time. Etc etc etc.

Throw all the disclaimers, contradictions or qualifiers you like, the point stands: 2 newcomers have shown the apple cart CAN be overturned (pun unintended). Ergo, the outright fatalism directed toward MeeGo is nuts. Let's wait until the body is dead before burying it, eh?

...and MeeGo is an OS for the mobile computing future, where Moore's Law is cheerfully ensuring we'll very soon have devices to fully exploit its potential.
