The thing is that Meego is still being actively developed by all the other parties. And since it is Linux it could interface quite effortlessly with all Unix-based services that are already in existence. No need to build a whole new infrastructure for a whole new "ecosystem"..

Obviously the Handset UX was basically in the hands on Nokia until now, but that's where the devs come in: once WP7 sets in they will be 'set free'. I mean, what need is there for an "experimental division" if what counts is the bottom line and costs need to be cut, right?
