i always find it amusing that armchair pundits can call ceos idiots without qualifying their comments - by any measure the ceo is actually there and much more successful then the pundit who criticises without action or consrquences
Who but an idiot would appear at the announcement of the N9 one day and get rave reviews for the phone/UI but then next day destroy the phone/OS by suggesting the OS has no future, and also "accidentially" show a N9.running Wp7?

Why didn'y he simply stay away from the N9 announcement in the first place?

Well considering that this talk happens at linux-based maemo's user forum it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to think that at least quite a big portion of users might, you know, still want to have linux as an option in their future gadgets?

So what about you? You're from Australia and if I remember correctly your government has been trying for years to make e.g. the internet not-free. Which one would you like: a government controlled internet or a non-controlled internet? Some people would like to have a phone OS that is as far away from being locked-down by a manufacturer or by one company as it can be.

Aww, I never quite understand whether you're trolling or not. One option is also that you are drunk constantly. Just joking!!!

Because everyone in Northern Europe is a TMO user.

The idea behind my post was that it's pretty common here for people to make fun of open source ideals. You and yessssss or whatever snake hiss his name is attacked someone who has ideals.

Saw that Sea Ray leaked video once more. Qt is continuing onto the "next million" but the N9 UI is going into something else apparently. I wonder what, it can only be WP, Symbian or maybe a tablet. But is that a good tablet UI? maybe, but it fits perfectly on a phone IMO.

The UI really is perfect, simplicity and power in perfect harmony, the very essence of a multitasking OS on a phone, I just love it. I hope it comes to Symbian as it already have all the pieces ready

It is so sad to see a great company destroy itself
with meego nokia would have been no. 1 again instead of just another peddler of generic phones

Sorry if this is a very stupid question:

If the N9 is the last and only meego device, ¿What are developers of the N950 working on? What OS is developers N950 running?

The N950 is not a commercial device so it doesn't count. It runs same OS as N9.

I know but, if it will not be a commercial device, why are developers putting on time on the N950?
