The main problem with that article is that it is not honest. It is only whining and made up historical nonsense. For instance WebOS, Palm used several years to come up with it, and when they finally launched it, nobody wanted it. Palm was sold to HP, and they have yet to sell a single phone.

The problem with Maemo/MeeGo is that it is ultimately a very bad concept altogether for Nokias future OS. The future consists of closed OSes, streamlined stuff, modern stuff that has one main purpose: make it easy for people to connect/use the ecosystem. Apple has walked up the path. WP will provide this, MeeGo will not. What this mean is that very few people at Nokia believed in the future of MeeGo-Qt-Symbian, they wanted something else, something real, something similar to what Symbian used to be. The MeeGo-Qt-Symbian route didn't catch any enthusiasm, because the concept is ultimately flawed.

When you analyse, be honest, or stfu and stop whining.


This is real:
