Slim-to-none? Thought so.
Not necessarily - if Elop maintains his promise to release one MeeGo device this year, and MeeGo is at that point a good OS, then it could be great. And Elop has put MeeGo on the back burner, if the Linux Foundation does a good job with it and Nokia find it attractive, they could put it back in their system. After all, with Symbian gone, they'd only have WP7 and s40, so they would have the resources to do it if they so chose. IMO, whether it will materialise now depends on the MeeGo foundation.
