alcalde, that's not even a valid opinion, it's just incorrect information you're spreading.
MeeGo was never under development for "several years", unless you're counting maemo and moblin for some reason.
MeeGo is perfectly deployable on tablets and possibly other devices like the in vehicle infotainment or whatever it's called. It's just the handset version that is lagging.
Also, you and Elop are both crazy if you think a Windows Mobile device can compete in emerging markets any time soon. It has a $30 license fee and much higher hardware requirements over symbian.
Do you not believe this guy?

"MeeGo is ready, it's not an R&D project: a MeeGo phone will be released"
Rich Green, Nokia CTO, speaking at MWC apparently called the meego device the n950 yesterday, and confirmed it will be a phone.
Intel has promised Medfield in production this year, and when MeeGo 1.2 is complete in 2.5 months, it will probably be the only OS properly optimized for their processor. Intel was doing most of the work for the core OS anyways, just take a look at the assigned bugs for 1.2 handset.
