Well, nothing WRONG with it, but big companies don't like to settle on using a platform that another one controls. Google, Nokia, Apple and Microsoft all have their own operating systems and related stores and other junk they want you to use. These guys don't want to help each other out and release any devices that make someone else's stuff more popular. Hopefully some of the smaller handset manufacturers see the light of MeeGo and help it succeed while increasing their own profits! They at least have a lot to gain by switching to a more open OS. But the big companies really only care about profits, and they've already maximized them by locking you in to their devices and stores. Giving that up would really be a big step back, so they will continue to throw all their efforts behind their own platforms.
