Frankly? I can't be bothered what Nokia does any more.
Why would I buy a (semi)Meego device while I know they will drop it like a dead dog (like they did with N900 (I know, slightly exaggerated)) within a few months?
Any nice Phone with Meego != Nokia will do when I need to replace my N900. Which I hope will not be for a few years.

@AndyNokia232 do you have a link to the source somewhere?

+ There's no guarentee it will be called the N950. If you watch the presentation, you can tell that Rich Green was not being dead serious by calling it the 'N950', he was joking around

I read somewhere else that Elop talked about a Nokia tablet in development that wouldn't be the "201st tablet" on the market, because everyone and their wives are making them now, some of them not all that great. The New York Times' review of RIM's 'Playbook' was pretty scathing, so I'm hoping Nokia make one that is super top quality.
But at the same time, I'm relieved that whatever they cook up for the tablet-sphere, it won't be the Meego device, because I, like most folk here, am hoping the N950 (or whatever is ends up being called!) is the successor (as Rich Green said) to the N900.
A slimmer N900 but with all the whistles and bells of Maemo5, plus HDMI and possibly even NFC, would basically fulfill my mobile dreams, and I would most likely wet my pants. In public.

Frankly I don't care whether it's called the N950 or the N9, or the N1000. I just am happy that something should be coming before New Year's Eve, and I'll be even happier if it's like my trusty N900 but after a 6 month course of Weight Watchers.
