I sure hope Nokia does not want MeeGo to compete in the Smart Phone market.
A Smart Phone isn't that the name for the typical year 200X mutation of mobile phones into internet computers running on way too low end hardware to compete with desktops, hence needing thin clients and specially written light apps?
Devices, first feature packed "smarter" phones, in a later stage especially designed for and happily used by advertisement centered companies to lure users into the use of data mining "free and low cost software" linking ip , gps, account info, mobile network data info into gigantic databases of user profiles?

What today is high end about such a Smart Phone? It is just as mainstream as a keyhanger and imo some of those Smart Phones should be freely distributed as the user already pays by using the integrated services.

If MeeGo is going to be anyhing like Maemo today or better I will most probably be making phone calls only from my computer that fits in my pocket.
Chances are MeeGo will be a first choice OS for those computers.

If only some nano wire or tube battery tech would make a breakthrough.
