Since Meego will run on a variety of different devices, why would Nokia want to allow say HTC or Samsung to make a Meego smart phone? Will Nokia discourage this type of competition? I want to know how Nokia plans to make money in the long run because surely margins on manufacturing devices will eventually diminish.

Believe it or not but apparently it`ll be LG with it`s LG GW990 to first put the MeeGo to it`s paces. Kind of disappointed here o_O as I was thinking that perhaps N900 will get a solid chance being the testing platform it is currently. Check out THIS LINK for more mind blowing info...

Nokia?...Well, the reason why i like nokia is because i like their built quality ... no one can top that. Yes, I know the OS is a little dull now but hardware wise compare to samsung and some other companies Nokia still stands solid.

Maybe now I'll be able to replace my N800 Tablet !
Here's hoping Dell drops then Mini5 with Meego/Maemo6
Hey Nokia/Intel: I want a version for my Atom netbook too!

Ovi maps is not as free as ppl think cost as just been integrated into future devices.
what makes more sense sell a 100k licenses at £50 a shot or add few unnoticeable £ on top of cost of 20 million devices a year and make maps a default feature.

Being able to use MeeGo/Maemo6 on an actual tablet of say, hoping, 7 inches would be awesome.
Funny, I thought MeeGo would make me abandon Nokia all together - but in the end it may be the OS that brings me BACK to Nokia (software) on a device manufactured by someone else.
And still the world turns.
