There's really no point. Android is going after the exact same market that iOS and Windows 7 are -- people who just want to buy a tiny box with lots of pretty graphics and neat little apps. And Nokia already has Symbian for that.

MeeGo (like Maemo) is qualitatively different; a MeeGo device is a computer, not just a media display box or a gaming console. The n900 is the latest in a line of "internet tablets," not the latest in a line of high-end phones. If the concept of a hand-held computer just doesn't catch on, Nokia can simply go back to continuing to upgrade Symbian, and the vast majority of cell phone users won't care in the least.
