it has my name, it has 90 % of my job, and it's at me to advertise
you and the costumers about it, you sell it for me.
It's not the absolute same thing here, of course, but it's almost.
Nokia is the phone manufacturer, the one that signed the deal
at first, the one that has been developing softwares like this.

Texas instruments has developed OMAP that is used by the
current maemo device, and I am sure quite a lot of users
doesn't know/care about it, it's not up to them to make the
device sucessfull. ( a better example, but a bit like my first one ).

Therefore, is up to Nokia, that has put it's name ( I know intel also
put their names on this at first, but they are known for processors,
not mobile softwares ), if the device is unsucessful, it's a big
whatever to them, they will still sell many i3,i5 and i7 hardwares.
Nokia has a lot more at task than a name of course, it's also their
future, N8 won't hold Nokia's sales for much long.

To sum up, this is what I mean, I know there are a thousand companies, developers, and worlds behind meego project, but
in the end, it's all to fall upon Nokia, maybe they did not realise it.

I am not being rude, sorry if I sound like that, also I don't know if
I make it clear, it's not easy to write good arguments on another
language!
