I'm willing to bet even less.

Sad ain't it, that Nokia could have ended this thread long ago by making only a 140 character tweet.

When a company can't even publicly say "Guys we are 100% behind MeeGo" things become kind of uncertain. I mean how many developers who were paying attention are now focusing elsewhere because this project has no definite future.

Nokia communication is essential ... don't you guys pay a PR team big bucks to get information across?

Most companies wouldn't have to make a PR post dispelling rumours. But Nokia is the exception ... as they have no sense of continuity and projects get killed pretty quick. It's a syndrome we Nokia customers have begun accustomed to.

This is why a no brainer thread like this is actually getting some serious debate. Do the top brass even read forums like this ... and I don't mean the workers I mean the guys running operations. I know generally there is a lot of opinion on the web and it is hard to obtain a data set that coherently represents the feedback of consumers and potential customers ... but when over at Apple someone can get response back directly from Job's himself ... it leaves much to be desired. I bet Nokia top brass think every customer is happy and dandy, little do they know the entire Maemo/ MeeGo shift has already alienated plenty of supportes and early adopters. Even in this here forums you can immediately identify the area where users are frustrated as people who disagree on anything pretty much agree on these common issues:

*lack of Continuity

*lack of Communication

*Hardware support is outsourced most times ... and it makes things hard to get fixed

*lack of Services ... it took so long to get Ovi store, no improved Ovi maps on Maemo yet, and no Flash 10 even when Flash was demoed first on an N900.

Sad really

For whom? Bada or You? Bada is going OK. It is 1.2 that is out now. Had to check, Bada has sold 5 mill units in 2010 since the release this summer.

The point here is that Samsung made Bada out of nowhere in less than a year. It has already outsold Maemo by a factor of 10 at least. It is only sold in Europe and certain places far east. The other point is that it is a Samsung "OS" for Samsung phones and works on a variety of cores, open source or not.

Agreed, the new Atoms are doing quite the progress. The new CPUs carry quite the load and with under a watt it's starting to look good. Plus, you know, x86. Might not be a lot for you people but for me it's the Holy Grail. I'd trade battery autonomy for full feature any day.

Curiouser and curiouser...

I still go with my theory that Nokia is pushing Qt (or just QtQuick/QML) on those platforms.

Only for high thermal displacements. For a Watt, no, capilary can do. Or normal convection. Heat pipes.

I do believe it was a joke though :P

Not from an American blog? Then it means it's true!
