but i know i'm going to switch back to meego .
I'm not even sure about iOS's relevance to intelligence either, really. There's something good to be said about all those hackers that manage to break into iOS and force it to do neat things... like, say, getting iPhone to run Android. (And run it surprisingly well!) But I know where you're going--and I can agree that the typical iOS user prefers to have Steve Jobs decide everything for them and do appear a bit.. developmentally disabled. (double-meanings FTW!)

I really would hope that MeeGo is the OS we always wanted with Maemo. I hope that Intel's and the Linux Foundation's participation is what does it for us, since I can't expect that from Nokia. Their history with Maemo has been abysmal. I'll give them credit for at least paying StsKeeps for his work--he's done a lot of good work and tolerates a lot of hassle from me and manages to keep my hopes up for MeeGo--which is hard to do.
