But again it was ME who didnt develop for QT and hence Nokia- absolutely not to blame.

Hey, mr-just-one-device genius: just so you know, Qt happens to be the most popular and widely known desktop GUI toolkit in the world, and that's including Microsoft offerings like MFC and .Net.

Nice try, Sony.

The license for Alien Dalvik costs surely less than a license to WP7.
Also, why not develop FOSS Dalvik for Meego.

Android has two years of ahead start with application development. There is no chance it can be archived if Meego won't be able to run Android-apps. Now there is at least one solution: Alien Dalvik.

Besides, there are lots of developers who chose Android just because they can develop in Java. But many of them would like to have "real" Linux on bottom, and not the cribbled Android-Linux.
I would assume, Meego+Dalvik would be a real winner if the hardware was right (dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM, 8MP camera, digital compass, gyroscope, xyz-accelometer and so on.)

You're dreaming.

Compatibility makes no sense if you're on the bottom. If you're the dominant player, you can say "See, we even run the other guy's apps, so we run everything! There's now no point going with the other little guy" If you're the minority player, adding compatibility with the big guy is seen as just acknowledging your minority status. If Meego runs Android apps, why not just use Android? Why develop specifically for MeeGo? And if no one's developing specifically for MeeGo, consumers will want to know why they should by a MeeGo phone instead of Android. As Harry Truman said, "When a Republican runs against a Republican, the Republican wins every time." Or as Michael Kinsley wrote "The slogan 'I'm just like the other guy, except a little bit different' is hardly inspiring."

And lastly, why should Nokia pay all the R&D costs to build and maintain MeeGo, pay to install Alien Dalvik, and let Google make money from the app store sales that they'll then channel into competing with you? Why not just put Android on for nothing and save all the R&D costs and licensing fees?
