@onethreealpha: You're still assuming mobile systems will remain separate from desktops. I believe mobile and static (desktop) systems will merge until there is little difference.
Don't get me wrong. From pure market penetration (on the desktop front), MS are in a unique position to capture (or should i say enhance) the convergence of mobile and desktop user experiences, but for most existing devices, connectivity is only a download away, and applications like Samsung's Kies Air, make that integration even easier, as all you need is wifi and a web browser.
In many ways, most mobile hardware vendors have actually managed to get the jump on MS by riding on their back, and the problem for MS is that these companies, with knowledge, experience and existing market share, won't be standing still.
this is a part of MS's problem, they assume a level of success in the future, based on what their competition is doing now.
edit: cool. just hit 300 posts. now I can start thread spamming with tags......

I would like to take this discussion of mobile and static systems farther but this is getting pretty far off topic for this thread. Probably more appropiate to continue here...
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=76806
...or someplace else if anyone knows of a better thread.

My thought on the whole Meltemi thing is the following:
Sum up all the "facts" and rumors:
That leaves us with an easy-to-use, nicely designed and built phone, which appeals to casual users, which don't know anything about rooting, jailbreaking, etc. and also don't want to know about, because they aren't much into mobile technology.
I think, we already should see the N9 not as the last MeeGo phone from Nokia, but very well as the first phone for the next billion.
Sum up all the "facts" and rumors:
- new Lightweight Linux with Qt and Swipe to replace S40
- N9 spec-wise being from 2009, every other high-end mobile out there has much higher specs
- Even features from earlier Nokia high-ends, such as FMTX, USB-OTG and the superb N8 camera are missing
- BUT: many social features already included out-of-the-box, without the need to download further apps, so a casual user should be perfectly happy
- The new Qt API mapping tool, which shows you the equivalents of iOS, Android and soon WinPhone API calls in Qt
That leaves us with an easy-to-use, nicely designed and built phone, which appeals to casual users, which don't know anything about rooting, jailbreaking, etc. and also don't want to know about, because they aren't much into mobile technology.
I think, we already should see the N9 not as the last MeeGo phone from Nokia, but very well as the first phone for the next billion.

I personally can't wait to see what comes of it.
