Yeah competition... Knowing nokia? I won't be shocked if we see a super stripped down linux on meego just like the droid.

I'd be shocked if T-Mobile offered a MeeGo device that wasn't well locked down. I'd be shocked if Nokia locks down MeeGo on its own. The openess of the Maemo5 device shows Nokia gets it to some extent.

Thinking that MeeGo will end up in a situation analogous to Android negates the presence of a full Linux core in MeeGo. It also quietly avoids the issue of Google being the sole and secret tinkerer with the core of Android. MeeGo has several fathers and an open environment. Nokia can see the problems being closed and single point controlled carrys for Android. I can not imagine Nokia wanting to replicate those issues.

If the first MeeGo handset is not at least as open and modifiable as the N900 then Nokia will have not learned the lessons to be learned in step 4 of 5.
