yeah right! To get Meego going you need BIG enduser HW companys like Nokia that invest resourses in the project. Intel is only intrested in itrs own platform and other all those ARM chipmanufactors has Android and Iphone as the mainos.

Intel also intrested in getting android and windows working on theyr HW so do not expect Intel are THAT intrested in Meego.

If Nokia decides to abandon Meego I do not expeect any HW based on Meego atleast not handset.. Maybe some hobby company that makes one or two tables and them closes down like WeTab.

Nokia is needed to get Meego going. If nokia dont belive in the project why on earth would HTC or other enduser HW companys invest money in it?

Dont forget Linux Foundation and Open Source is nothing without big companys support.
