watched the nokia press live broadcast, and elop said they will still release a meego device before year end, but then said something to the effect of 'well.. after that then we'll see.' he mumbled something about the meego device being an experiment from which they might learn something, or not.

Not long. If they commission one from HTC they could probably have it by Q2.

Killing Maemo will go down as being the dumbest mistake in the history of Nokia.
No, partnering with MS is. And will probably be their last mistake, ever.

And how does the WP7 ecosystem (without Nokia's involvement) compare? Will Nokia get all revenue from sales of Apps and Media on Nokia WP7 devices? If they are still going to sell Symbian devices, what ecosystem do they get? Qt+OVI were going to be the ecosystem.

Here's what what I take from the Elop-Ballmer QA kissfest.

Windows Phone is now Nokia's primary platform. This is as clear as daylight.
Symbian is secondary and will be phased out over the medium term.
MeeGo is thirdery and considered experimental.

I'm no fanboy for Microsoft, Linux or everything else. The fact is, if they make such "bad" os's, the world wouldn't be using it....
It's called network externalities. Hence why we still use qwerty keyboards etc.

What a lost opportunity. My next phone will be an Android.

This is clearly good news for those who have a real ecosystem: Apple, RIM, Samsung and HP.

There could only be a generic OS, and that is meant to be Android.
