Qt will survive as long as KDE has a significant user base. Nokia will survive as either a division or puppet of M$. But RIM is already toast, another Palm.

First he's saying not MeeGo based, but then he goes on to describe it as MeeGo based:
"OpenSUSE based + QT on top"
All the hints/rumours we've had, have pointed towards a stripped-down cousin of M-H.
It just sounds like some random on the internetz venting his rage.

1Q 2013, oh dear. Why reinvent the wheel for christ's sake? The N900 with 600mhz and 256mb ram was running perfectly fine.
N900 was released 2.5 years ago, how could they possibly **** that up. Beyond comprehension.
They weren't reinventing the wheel with Meltemi, thankfully they didn't need to, it was heavily based around work they'd done for Qt/Harmattan.

Elop did'nt kill maemo/meego/etc it was on life support before he joined Nokia,

I can report that Ukraine vs France 0-0. Great game so far no shoots on goal and no nokia commercial what so ever. Samsung is everywhere.

I know software dev. takes time, but still...
@abill_uk
Its difficult to believe that things were going so bad, I mean the N9 is a compelling product after all. Also besides selling the company to MS they could have tried Android, its not that shareholders are gonna get much for their money now, is it?
ok, back to football

He had a long hiatus away, but it seems he's been allowed back recently
He's harmless, means well, and always "amusing" to read his posts...

Sure, just saying, I guess they started meltemi around feb. 2011, so having the first phones ready in 1Q 2013 is again 2 years.

To have it delivered by then is not bad at all in the scheme of things.
WP7x was almost covering the top of the low end, & was probably set to go a bit lower.
And Sonic Touch was starting to cover the bottom end very nicely.
The rumours were pointing to 1st announcement for Meltemi in Q4, so Q1 may make sense.
