I think the answer to Nokia's MeeGo decision lies in the past.

Will they continue the MeeGo push?

Look at what has come out of maemo the past 4+ years. Has the FOSS community utilized the device and further its content/capability in alignment with market's interest?

The answer is no. (general market acceptance, number of apps available in ovi, etc)

They will clearly see this as a bad investment.

MeeGo, is a different animal of course.. with Intel's involvement and whatnot. But Nokia is not part of it anymore... (are they?).

So I see this as Nokia saying that the MeeGo/maemo6 device will be the first and maybe last device, depending on how it performs.
