This will be very liberating for vendors and will give them their power back.
But isn't that "old mobile"? Since the power of the phone's OS is partially its applications (like iphone's and android's), isn't that assumption a step back?

Anyway. What we really need here is a statement from Nokia people that have insight of what's happening there. The thread is not meant to be a good or bad Nokia/MeeGo/Intel/Whatever. It's just a question: Did Nokia/MeeGo/Intel thought about this? And if so, what's they're standing?
