“There is a pertinent story about a man who was working on an oil platform in the North Sea. He woke up one night from a loud explosion, which suddenly set his entire oil platform on fire. In mere moments, he was surrounded by flames. Through the smoke and heat, he barely made his way out of the chaos to the platform’s edge. When he looked down over the edge, all he could see were the dark, cold, foreboding Atlantic waters.

As the fire approached him, the man had mere seconds to react. He could stand on the platform, and inevitably be consumed by the burning flames. Or, he could plunge 30 meters in to the freezing waters. The man was standing upon a “burning platform,” and he needed to make a choice.

He decided to give up, he shot himself. It was unexpected."

The real problem is that Maemo/MeeGo is for smart people, and the world is simply too full of idiots!

In an ideal world? When you buy a Nokia phone, you get a choice of OS on it.

But Symbian should die horrible flaming death, it was great on my N95 but FFS it's 2011.

/Z
on an other hand you are correct, but staying in marginal means that you have to either choose an os with developers working on it or stay in a similar boat than with n900.

imo future should be for progress, not things staying at the same.

There you go this guy can actually see clear !!!!.

You lot all need your head examined if you cannot see a migration of these 2 giants will and must come out trumps for everyone !.

Talk about what the intergration will actually mean instead of cursing and swearing Nokia.

(does this make me a fanboy?)

NO i got the sense to realise !!.
LOLCATZ

I think we can stop worrying about who will stay back to make sure the lights are off!

[QUOTE=niqbal;942073]it was a huge mistake venturing away from Maemo and well Nokia is down the drain big time. Some sanity finally prevailed, I am glad at partnership with Microsoft. Some drawbacks yes but a lot of good, hopefully for best.

I personally think Nokia had no choice but to move away from Maemo AND Meego because the interest did not go the way Nokia had hoped it would, ok we all needed this to erupt into the best OS ever but it did not happen and you can thank the developers for this as they did not work as a team in my opinion.

I think this forum was invented to bring in some Linux genius,s but that obviously never happened as you must realise that Nokia would never move away from success, since when was Maemo a success?.

I live in reality not dreams and can see clearly what has gone wrong here but i agree with the latter of your comments.

I think your somewhat lame comments are just not based on reality at all.... time for a reality check perhaps????.

Quoting the press release:
"Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year."

I wonder what they mean by MeeGo-related, but I certainly hope it's a phone.

[snip] Under the new strategy, MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project. MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences. Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year. [snip]

From http://www.nokia.com/press/press-rel...newsid=1488004

Meego tablet - probably yes, meego phone -- almost certainly not
