Engadget article reads like pure speculative garbage.
EDIT: thanks Stskeeps for the poke.

Why didn't they just keep rolling ahead with Maemo until Meego was done?
I feel like it wouldn't have taken a whole lot of resources to keep on trucking with Maemo and make a few more of their "internet tablet" range of devices while Meego was still being worked on.
Oh well.

read the original article instead of engadget one... its not garbage. its serious article imho.
I take the original article as Nokia will NOT drop Meego! I am sure the engineers behind it want it to improve. Not a chance they go to WP7. And I am sure it also is needed if Nokia shall success outisde US/EU.
But its not ready for the massproductioon devices as the board had expected. Nokia seems to have big big problems with the organization! WP7 was only sollution it seems...
I seriously hope there will come new Meego device upcoming years. And I think it still can be the plans for Nokia.
But first lets see whats happening with the device this year
I hope it will success.

Are you insane?
Meego isn't ready for production, but neither is WP7!!
This whole stinking business is purely Microsoft sacrificing Nokia to hurt Linux market- and mindshare.
In 3 years there will not be a Nokia anymore to make phones.
But Microsoft doesn't care; they're only doing this to delay the onset of mobile Linux for a couple more years.

My point is that Meego(Maemo) is not ready to be installed on 12 Nokia different devices in a year. WP7 obviously is! The facts that Nokias Meego device still i using deb inmstead of RPM and is not Meego compliant proves enought that Meego is not ready to be massmarket on > 12 nokias devices 2012.
And to be realist I wonder even if Meego, without Nokia, is ready on massmarket, If so were is the damn devices!? Shall we blame Nokia and Microsoft decision for that!?
Only device seen so far is and WeTab and some damn Asus EEE netbook but its 2011!? people want tocuhscreen devices(tablets/handdset) not some damn old HW and netbook.

Engadget article, yes, businessweek one is a fairly good read.
I think if he succeeds...then the old nokia will be brought back to life.
