I really hope we do, but don't have my hopes high for it.
Not even Intel will release fully release Meego until Q3 :-(

i get the feeling the feb 13th media event will be a hands on demos with what they announce on the 11th
The guy admits he knows nothing? Seems like the rest of us we are all just assuming it is something big being annouced in 2 weeks? If it is then surely it need to be more than just Meego on the N9??

hes the chief of the official Nokia blog of course he knows, hes got to say otherwise though or is boss's will cut his throat if he breaks an NDA
A guy of his status would not be guessing if he did not know, hed just not mention it at all, you know how damaging it would be now he claimed something big and exciting was happening in 2 weeks then nothing happens, the Guy is PR expert he chose his words careful

It's not all doom and gloom as Intel has already said that there will be device announcements from MeeGo side in MWC and they got lots of space in MWC.

Just wanna finally see Nokia's MeeGo and some devices from them.

Is that a rocket in your pocket or are you just using an Atom smartphone?

The last time I remember someone OFFICIAL from Nokia blogposting about how SOMETHING BIG was coming, and everybody thought it might be a new version of Maemo or some new device... it turned out to be a useless piece of software that Nokia released with much fanfare but nobody was really interested in. Especially after so much hype and expectation was raised about it being "something big".

Wouldn't be it appropriate and funny if history repeated itself and it turned out to be... TADA! An all new Ovi Store! or something like that. :P No new software really.. just a new store. heheh If the N900 people are lucky, MAYBE it'll be a new OviMaps app with proper turn-by-turn navigation or something. heheh Something big indeed.

OTOH... as long as it's any kind of GNU/Linux based OS, I don't really care if it's a Nokia or LG or HTC or whatever. Nokia, until now, was the only company that offered such a system. Maybe with MeeGo we'll finally get a choice. (Actually, I'm sick and tired of depending on Nokia and its management.)

that was posted on the Ovi blog so was obvious it was Ovi software related but we all got carried away

Yeah, they do that!!

But you know what, I think the "or join" thing is a bit like this too. Just building expectations. By admitting they might "or join" you attract a lot of attention, you make lots of writers and investors happy, and more than that, you make your own employees more concerned that they need to make sure that they are making a good job.

By admitting no alternatives you make your employees less "motivated" (i.e. afraid), make your investors unhappy because it seems like the company is stuck in a single track with no way out, and you make news writers uninterested in you because your fate is sealed. You also pass as arrogant.

The best is to admit the possibility even though you might still be sure inside that switching to android is in fact "a piss in the pants" as the poet used to say.

OBS: Maybe it's all wishful thinking of my part, I want to believe that he didn't really mean that... Who knows?

Agree, but especially when we are talking about phones i rather buy Nokia with it's ecosystem and them being one the founder rather than phone from somebody like Acer. Can't see or believe that any of the other mobile hw vendors are touching handheld MeeGo side any time soon in a big way.

For tablets i'm much more open for different brands.
