The anticipation of what gets announced tomorrow is high, and I hope that NOKIA will deliver. There are many NOKIA fans that will jump at an opportunity to own a NOKIA like iphone. But again, I highly doubt it that Harmattan will be as smooth as iphone, and as a new OS, I am afraid that it will be as buggy as the usual symbian software. Maemo 5 was a disappointment when it initially came out. Besides multi-tasking it could not compete with iphone OS, and most of the reviews gave it great potential but rough at the edges. I am afraid that Harmattan will be the same. It will not be disruptive for sure, as the novelties will be in the minutia, not in the overall experience. So forget about it being disruptive in one form or another.
Moreover, NOKIA continues to be involved in way too many projects. They should focus on few good things, and pull out of the ideology that producing 40-50 models variations on the same buggy stuff will not work. WP7 will help them with the software, and this was an excellent move by Elop. I am buying Nokia and MS stock, as i think they will rise 5 fold in 5 years, not because of Meego, but because of MS/NOKIA alliance.
Meego came too late on the scene. Its a dead platform.

There have been a lot of comments made about what disruption means and there's one area I have not seen covered: battery life.

they have started to even ditch cold-swapping and it's not that batterylife has improved very much lately. Hot-swapping will stay a dream IMO.
