NOKIA did the right thing. They had all the time to bring an alternative OS to the table that can compete with the rest. They didnt. Even Meego looks still infantile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C66HgRbM5K4
the first MeeGo smartphone, thought to be the N9-00, has indeed been canned. Instead, a second (and possibly last) MeeGo smartphone on the roadmap – the N9-01 – sans physical keyboard will be pushed out first, as earlier reported by Engadget. Interestingly, well-placed sources also tell us that the device won’t feature the stock MeeGo UI but instead one designed by “a three person external team rather than any of Nokia’s hundreds of internal designers.”
