Very good read http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilep...2204005,00.htm MeeGo is the future for Nokias smartphones. At least that is the plan, but making good plans has never been a problem for Nokia, they need to execute and deliver as well. The N9 will run Maemo with a "MeeGo" UX. But the (Maemo)MeeGo UX will not be the UX that is going to be used on real MeeGo phones. Nokia will not encourage people developing for that UX, but will instead encourage developing on Qt and Qt Quick. This will probably be just fine, but think about all the wasted work: Symbian4 UX wasted, Maemo\MeeGo UX wasted. Strange indeed.
As I understand, Intel MeeGo for handsets is as good as finished, ready for prime time. Why don't Nokia simply go fwd with Intel? Given the choice I would rather have a Intel smart(whatever) than a cripled ARM (in comparisom). As it is now, Nokia will be late also for MeeGo, maybe too late? Intel smartphones will get there first.
