Just looking around at what is out there now, either available to buy or production models now being demonstrated at conferences. Featuring:

iPhone/iPad, Blackberry, HP/WebOS, Android 1.3/Honeycomb, Windows 7/WP7

And Nokia has what exactly?

Some legacy Symbian and a lot of vapourware that 'might' one day have hit a hight street store.

That's it folks, no point in arguing. Nokia missed the boat. Now they are into damage limitation, trying to recover what they can from the abortive experiment that didn't provide them with a platform for the next generation of mobile phones and tablets. Intel may well take advantage of MeeGo as an OS for tablets, etc. But that is it where Nokia is concerned - they backed the wrong horse, and they lost the gamble. As gamblers do, they are betting on another horse (WP7), in the hope they can recover some of what they lost on the last three-legged nag (Maemo/MeeGo).

End of story. No point complaining, arguing, etc. It is just a mobile phone company, and just a mobile phone, and just one in a long line of OS variants. that went nowhere. Get over it. I still think that Atari ST & TOS was a great system, way ahead of MS.DOS at the time - but we still ended up with Windows 3.1. Looking back, I was being silly - Apple & MS were always set to dominate the desktop.
