TX everybody for the concern.
"My rescue plan for meego" and this thread have a lot in common - perhaps consolidation under a single umbrella may help with developing some good ideas

Obviously, it is not my plan, it was started by slender, but apparently with the same concern

I was just wondering, If in the future nokia comes back after learning that wp7 did not work will you buy nokia meego products again. Will you believe nokia again after backstabbing every one here?

Especially under the current leadership, this seems impossible.
Aye, there's the rub. It's a serious dilemma, and frustrates the hell out of me to think about.

It seems like Nokia has given up trying to monetize the UX along with services, and IMO that's utterly idiotic, especially in the long term (going forward services are where you will always make money). And for us, the current thinking is what will keep Maemo in limbo (at best).

At this moment my trust in Nokia is approaching zero.

That would be truly great. Hope some insider jumps the ship and steals the source code

A caveat: @selop just said at #MWC11 that Nokia plans to start making money with ads. That's called a service, but I call bs. Stats have shown that ad revenue is not where it was expected to be at this point, and not only that, ad providers still don't get how to get ads to potential consumers in a nonobstructive way. Ad placement in games can be fine (eg, click on a billboard in Grand Theft Auto) but unfortunately providers seem to be stuck in this "put the ads in the page body/lobby/etc".
