Indeed....
Well Apple has proved that a single product can win the high-end. But if Nokia's only able to release one MeeGo product this year then they better make it a good one!
One MeeGo device in 2011 could be enough, depending on the device.

I don't think Nokia can thrive on one device. It requires a whole different strategy, mindset and execution by the company. That's why Elop drove down the point that by going MeeGo route, they're likely to end up with just 1 (high end) device by year's end.
It's still February now.
That's a risky bet.... and I'm betting (huge) that he's working his *** off to steer Nokia off that course.

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 jump. It was unexpected. In ordinary circumstances, the man would never consider plunging into icy waters. But these were not ordinary times - his platform was on fire. The man survived the fall and the waters. After he was rescued, he noted that a “burning platform” caused a radical change in his behaviour.

If Nokia release a MeeGo device 2nd QT then I'm seeing MeeGo will not lose to Android. And the device that Nokia release must and I said MUST.. has a Dual Core A9 with 1GB RAM in it. Otherwise I don't see how Nokia is going to compete with competitions.
It's a hardware + software war. Can't win one lose one, must win both to stay survive and reproduce.

Don't know about Meego, but it was in the news recently;
Sunnyvale HQ, Google OS for Nokia?
Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal
Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 7:50am PST
Rumors are flying ahead of a big announcement from Nokia Oyj that the Finnish company could move its executive staff to Sunnyvale and adopt Google's Android operating system for its devices.
The Register website cited unnamed "well-placed sources" on Monday who said CEO Stephen Elop is considering moving most of his activities and a number of key staff to the company's new offices at Sunnyvale Town Center.
The Financial Times on Tuesday said a number of European telephone companies are growing nervous that Nokia is about to choose either the Android operating system from Google or the Windows Phone 7 operating system from Microsoft as the operating system for new smartphones.

I'm not in any way having a go at you.. but why are you so sure that any MeeGo device could compete with Android?
What features will MeeGo have that bring something new to the table?

MeeGo, being something new, can start from zero and make a truly stunning device.
So far, so good. Off course, I notice that first Elop complains that there are many devices, then he complains there is only one MeeGo device, but oh well.
The point Elop drives in (and I agree with that) is that, as Texrat commented too in Engadget's post; Nokia can't survive on devices alone anymore.
So I believe that the MeeGo device must be the tip of the icebreaker. It must come with an ecosystem behind.
And I think there is where the "joining or catalyzing" part comes as well. Because, you either dominate the landscape, and everyone has the same applications because everyone has the same platform (MS position on the PC market / Maybe Android in the future?) or there is some sort of platform cross-compatibility, so it doesn't matter your platform; you will have the app you want.
So, some kind of agreement between Android/Google, QNX/RIM, MeeGo/Nokia-Intel, that assures that apps will be compatible between platforms could be a huge game changer.
Opinions?
