It makes no sense, unless Nokia have some future plan with MeeGo. My guess (for the moment ) is that Nokia anticipates that an ecosystem is bound to start evolving around MeeGo no matter what, and Nokia wants to be a part of it.

I suppose it is called "keeping your options open" at least Nokia will have a fall back plan should they fall out with M$, for once there seems some logic to this, and perhaps our N900's will be the phone to benefit over the next 12 months or so.

I can still see longterm the meego device being "a mobile computer" as stskeeps suggests, with the ability to make phone calls, and WP7 being Nokia's mobile phone OS
