Didn't eldar also say this week that nokia will not change their OS-strategy?

OTOH, this time i'm about to believe him. what we've heard from Flop translates to: "we will use the work we put into MeeGo to bring one device to the market, but that'll be it."

He also called it a "meego-related" product.

Nokia used to work on what they called meego/harmattan, harmattan being the codename for maemo 6. they said they'd drop the name maemo in favor of meego to support the meego-brand as soon as possible.

now that Flop made it clear he's not interested in meego as a future smartphone OS in the nokia lineup - why not re-use the good old maemo name and call it maemo 6? established brand, no problems with other meego stakeholders.... and if it's the last of its kind, it's easier to stop after a "version 6" than after a "almost version 1, it's not really meego yet, but next time it'll be".
