MeeGo doesn't have an eco-system like Android, iOS or even WP7. i'm guessing that's why he's abandoning it. WP7 makes sense since both are now underdogs. Nokia can focus on making great hardware like they have always (HTC sucks in this area btw!! :P).

but i believe in the longer term Elop is still looking to build an eco-system of his own. is there room in this world for 3 main players? i don't know. what's different in his version vs apple or google? no idea.

either way, consumers are at the winning end. if Nokia flops, we go en-masse to the competitors (not like we have any choice!). if Nokia wins, we win.

i love my N900. i have been through many phones and smartphones and in all my years of using such devices, nothing has come close to the likes of the N900. it will be a sad day when mine dies and i cannot find replacement parts anymore
