Devices that used to run Symbian.
My guess is that Meltemi will be very similar to Android in how it uses Linux kernel - just as an enablement layer to glue Qt/QML on a hardware. Not a "real" Linux distribution you excite of.

I have same kind of hunch but that would mean competing with WP7?
Is it a backup plan which could be pushed to lower range if needed (WP7 succeeds or not)?

For Nokia it was always S40 for featurephones and S60 for smartphones.
Now Meltemi for featurephones and WP for smartphones?

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.

I think we'll have to see untill 2Q 2012 if WP7 is a fail or a win. My bet is going day by day towards win. All the major tech blogs gave Mango really good reviews. Mindshare is really soon in the level of good sales push. Christmas sales are going to be crucial for Elop and Ballmer.
I just don't know where Meltemi fits in Nokia's strategy. I think it would be more logical to put in the ultra high-end of phone/something totally new in mobile space. 100-200 € price range just feels somehow so wrong.

............. All the major tech blogs said mango finally brings a while bunch of stuff that it should have had from the very beginning and still has a long way to go.

Man, i could SWEAR (and I often do swear! hehe) that we were told as soon as Windows Phone 7 was releases, that we should give it a few months to a year to prove itself before we can truly call it a failure.
It's been months now--and nearly a year. Can we finally just admit it yet?
