If the MeeGo device is finished, why hasn't it been shown off?

Makes no sense. Especially since the MeeGo distros are public. Or am I missing something.

Thanks... but that seems rather low and they're including all iterations of Maemo: 770, N800, N810, N810 WiMAX and finally the N900.

5 years, a "few" millions. 6 months, barely 2 million for WP7.

Two turkeys don't make one eagle indeed.

Huh?

Okay, let me try to clarify.

If a person that works for Nokia states that the MeeGo device is finished, then why hasn't it been shown? I know that many, many prototypes are never shown; however to let your CEO have the ability to say that it doesn't exist, when it does... something is amiss. 1.2 isn't finished, so it has to be the device they're talking about.

Prove it exists; you knock more than a few holes in this MS development and reliance on Microsoft for an OS that's finished. Otherwise, you will idly sit by and let thousands of folks lose their job.

I'm quite sure you can understand that.

So Elop went with a different platform. So what? Stop sounding like a bunch of crybabies because your little pet project wasn't chosen.

Go Nokia!

Stephen Elop said explicitly that these activities are out of the scope of the Microsoft deal and I'm still waiting to hear more about them.
Actually, the first three of these initiatives were already underway before yesterday.

And for those not familiar with Nokia structure and culture, putting MeeGo under CTO makes it less of a commercial venture and more of a research project.

Firstly would like to thank Nokia for giving me one of the best mobile device the N900! least they can't take that away from us.

Love the fact that the community has taken over!

Just sad that was looking forward to the N9 and beyond in anticpation, obviously that in some ways has taking a huge dent!

but will adopt a wait and see attitude as have my little brick to play around until then!

@qgil: Did nokia employees know about the deal before, or expected it?


Nokia had a good OS and finally good development tools, why going WP7 now? Do they really think the XBox Live brand is worth so much?

I mean wasn't this supposed to be the last step, the big year for meego?

I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but this decision seems so short-sighted (except for the american market) from outside, I don't know what to think.
