MeeGo is a platform with much better potential, simply because it is under much less influence from big brands.

You are right at some points but not The Truth.
Ok, but Android = Big G and MeeGo = Intel (more or less). If you want to invest your "resources on something with minimum control from big brand", why don't you start with something completely community driven, like SHR or Openmoko? I think because community is not enough...it's essential, but not enough. Probably you need to have some certainties that only a "big brand" can provide. Am I wrong?
