Google don't really care about what OS or phone they use.
I agree on that. However there is one option Elop could look into: Issue a few Google (Android) phones (Nexus 3) for the U.S market. Get in return Google's commitment for deep gmail / calendar integration with Meego and Symbian. Only problem: how to do (temporary) Android without too much damage to Ovi / Symbian / Meego? Maybe the solution is Qt for Android?
