This new OS is most likely going to turn out to be another POS which doesn't last. Just a waste of time and money.

Why does anyone care if Nokia is bringing out this crap, cut down OS?
If it's for low end phones (no keyboard no touch screen on some?). It's going to be hell for Nokia. Developers won't jump from Symbion for a this new piece of crap, just like they didn't jump onto the Maemo bandwagon!

Perhaps to remain relevant?

What is wrong woth Harmattan/Meego? Why not use that if it is going to look the same?
It is going to use Swipe so will look the same as Harmattan/Meego. And Harmattan/Meego works very well on 1GHz proc. as you can see in the N9. And they already have 1GHz proc in low end s40 devices.

If you're assuming that they're going to look the same, then the question could be flipped around: What is wrong with NOT using Harmattan/MeeGo?

RTOS have some advantages over linux/windows etc. Less hardware requirements (memory), deterministic deadline (important for critical sensor input, e.g. a computer that triggers airbags in cars would never use (standard) linux), less power consumption.

I think the only relevant advantage when it comes to smart phones today is power consumption.

On the other hand, lot of people in this community have spent lot time and effort on getting into Qt thanks to Nokia's previous strategy. Hopefully this will give something back to them as a return to that investment.
actually if N9 would be reference platform, limiting the multitasking would be probably all you need to jump from harmattan to meltemi. single core 1ghz processors are getting cheaper day by day and limiting multitasking brings down the requirement for the ram.

I think the question is... why not a DIFFERENT RT-capable Linux-based OS, though? Or hell.. why not ANY other RTOS?
