1) WSJ is right

2) gossip blog is right

pick one you prefer.
You missed the preceding conversation about the "Maltemi" name origin.. and then overlooked it when you read my comment, didn't you?

A new article from yesterday regarding Meltemi. It's from The Register. Nothing really new in it though. Just "confirming" the WSJ rumor.

This is promising, but, and it's a big but, this is Nokia we are talking about here.

My take on the whole Elop strategy was that he was effectively outsourcing Nokia OS and software to Microsoft and Accenture, mainly cos, being honest, Nokia made amazing hardware, but struggled to deliver software and updates.

If Nokia do start pushing devices again with linux inside and swipe, on low to mid end phones, to compete with some of the lower end android devices, then that could be very exciting, especially if they are as hackable as the Maemo and Meego devices.

Isn't the name "maltemi" supposed to be a Greek name for a wind?

Hence my quip that, as it turns out, Maltemi is just a lot of hot air. :P That subject WAS brought up and explained several times before my posting.

The article states: The April memo referred to Meltemi as a platform for “rich Featurephones” and stated that development will be centered in Ulm, Germany.

For more rumor mongering, see @luovanto's tweet:
"I'm in Ulm, a small city in German sporting the worlds tallest church. And where the future is being made. Off to Beijing in friday."

Rich featurephones? Wonder what that means. Smartphones without "ecosystem"?

If they're putting Qt on it, there's an "ecosystem".

True that. They just need to freaking communicate the future of Qt lot better! Developers have no clear idea of the future of Qt.

Idiotic to keep Qt's future in secrecy.
