arent most of the os evolving now? like the BB os 6 then symbian 3 and who could forget IOS 4.2. I am confused in which OS to switch to next year. All of them are so fairly matched

i guess all major current os's are quite capable for their target audience.

the question is: will meego be on par with them? :O

My opinion... no. MeeGo will require that the user brings a lot of knowledge to the table in order to get it to where it'll be the same level as most other OS's. Ovi dragged behind all other app stores, I anticipate the same.

Connections to enterprise solutions (read: MS Exchange especially) will continue to lag behind (read: non-provisioned in 2010, really!?).

Apps are either genius for being from smaller developers and/or community based or downright crappy when larger developer or OEM based (which... is rather telling).

The more I look at it, MeeGo will probably end up coming out, be a great OS and then the wait game will start for the apps to come out. People will complain, the community will deliver some seriously awesome things... and it will not be enough because it's not Unreal Engine based and/or as full-featured platform X or platform Y's implementation of that same thing or service (read: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook).

But out of the box, my expectations on MeeGo are very low. Higher than iOS 1.0, but lower than WebOS or even WP7.

I reckon this is what the smartphone landscape will be in Q3 2011:
Android, iOS, WP7, MeeGo, RIM/WebOS, Symbian

I reckon this is what needs to be deserving in the smartphone landscape:
MeeGo, Android/WP7, iOS/WebOS, RIM, Symbian

What I'm most likely to buy in Q3 2011:
Android, MeeGo, iOS, WebOS. WP7, RIM, Symbian

Nokia needs to take every best thing each os has and put it inside meego. Nokia totally fails at attracting devs. They need to work on that. I would always go for a nokia, i love their free offline maps.

Great! Than I know what to buy when it's time to replace my n900. And that's why I preffered symbian before it. Most other interfaces and os's assume that the users are idiots and behave as such.

Build a system that even a fool can use and only a fool will want to use it.

That's flawed logic, y'know. Do you really believe that?
