I posted this in another thread by mistake, it's been a confusing day so far. All the news is still sinking in, but at the moment I don't know who i feel more sorry for.
Is it the developers who were training up for MeeGo? Is it the Intel reps getting ready to show off their MeeGo wares at the MWC booths, after their major partner just dismissed it as a hobbyist platform and pretty insignifgant for the next few years. Is it the smaller companies like Neofonie who put their faith and limited resources in MeeGo by bringing us the first real commercial tablet WeTab. Is it the MeeGo bloggers who put their own money into travelling to MWC hoping to report some good news? Is it the volunteer MeeGO ambassadors, running their local groups all over the world? Job losses in Finland.. ok I could go on and on..
And it's not just Maemo/MeeGo, what about the E7 - now we know why the release was hastily brought forward a few days before this announcement. A great little phone undermined before it's even started selling. I thought that kind of nonsense would be gone under Elop.
Whatever the future, I don't regret owning a N900 and if MeeGo brings more of the same then I'll still be onboard for MeeGo.
