according to this, meego is still going ahead, symbian will be replaced by WM8.
i don't see the problem, iOS and andriod are growing in market share, symbian is dying and WP7 is the easy alternative. With Microsoft bing and other services it seems like a good idea. Ship some WM8, while symbian 'burns' and give meego the time it needs this way it won't end up like Maemo did. While a lot of jobs will be lost and the merger seems like a 'conspiracy' Nokia is a buisness, and i for one think that if this buisness plan of Elops means that Meego will have longer to prepare so therefore less bugs and better UI, I'M ALL FOR IT!
