Nothing changes on MeeGo front: http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/02/...ice-ecosystem/
That's really great news, if a good phone maker will step up and provide. And if it runs on Windows, that's similarly great news
Slim-to-none? Thought so.

Nokia has the largest market share in OS thru symbian but they chose the smallest player in the OS market.
Not to mention Elop once worked for microsoft & Could have switched to android which would have been an obvious choice for Nokia becuz of the linux based Android OS so maybe its a conspiracy.
Personally i never cared for meego since i never seen it and the fact Nokia shown little intrest in the needed updates for the N900 i wouldnt be surprised if meego ended the same way whats up with the multiple OS's Nokia makes and doesnt support, that bothers me most of all.
Next phone of mine will be running Android.

After all, with Symbian gone, they'd only have WP7 and s40, so they would have the resources to do it if they so chose. IMO, whether it will materialise now depends on the MeeGo foundation.

No, it's the second worst. iPhone has that title for sure - a grid of shortcuts. At least WP7 has updating widgets
But yeah, I was never a huge fan of just having icons.

Is it possible that Intel could have been put in charge of Meego and that Nokia will just be over-seeing it all?

My boss has a HTC WP7 phone... I played with it (with the phone, yea? 
) a bit and the UI is O.K., but still not my cup of tea...
I wonder if the Nokia/MS phones will have a micro-SD slot - aren't they supposed to not have one (specified by MS)? And what about the mini-HDMI ports, and the Carl Zeiss lenses? Will all those remain?
Makes me wonder...

Maybe WP7 is just a tool to earn lots of money to get independent again. But my guess is WP7 is a bit too fancy for the average bloke (not simple icons etc. like the iPhone, lots of text).
