I think they will still release a MeeGo device b/c they have promised to do so. I wonder now if they will do the minimum needed to keep this promise and then bug out.

There is also a leaked memo out there:
Nokia now tells staff that the majority of MeeGo activities are planned to be discontinued by the end of June 2012, adding: "The Windows Phone organization has started to ramp up its operations and a large part of that organization will be in place by the end of 2011, and Nokia aims to retain as many people as possible from other areas, such as the Symbian and MeeGo organizations.
One question I have -- is this consistent with what we've already been told, which is that of releasing one Harmattan device and keeping MeeGo around for experimentation and future disruptions? Or are they no longer keeping MeeGo around for anything beyond supporting the to-be-existing Harmattan device?
