Comments on: Intel moving away from MeeGo? Android for Atom would suggest so http://mynokiablog.com/2011/09/13/intel-moving-away-from-meego-android-for-atom-would-suggest-so/ Random, informal Nokia blog for Nokia, Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo and Windows Phone news, reviews, rants, suggestions and applications.

Check some of the detailed reviews from linux/hw review sites like phoronix IIRC. There was def. some positive attributes that Maemo could stand to benefit from at the time. And the tie-up is hugely incorrectly seen as the main reason for the delays, there was several other reason that played a role. By far the single-biggest being the delayed "hard focus" on maemo till the very last minute (relatively speaking).

They're a competitor "now". The idea is eventually they won't be. Very diff. in structure to Android. I don’t think you get it…

Other form-factors, no.... Latest weekly of MeeGoCE for N900 is a huge improvement. Still very rough, but making excellent progress lately.

Until we see one I don't think MeeGo will go anywhere unless there is a desperate hardware vendor out there.

Now I hope Mozilla's coming mobile OS will be success. If it ever comes out. Luckily my Pre 2 is working well (and hopefully for a long time). It's also nice that it is very rare here in Finland, since it's not sold here. Therefore it gets a lot of attention whenever I pull it out of my pocket. :) I wonder what will be my next phone if there isn’t Meego devices available.

He's open minded and gets open minded people to post here. He's also a true Nokia fan, unlike some of the Symbian diehards. Well good thing Jay runs this blog instead of you.

I thought it was an incredibly dense move. Moblin offered nothing, nobody cared about it. Maemo was quite well regarded (at the time). No saying whether Nokia could have made it work had they not had that delay, but MeeGo only made sense for Nokia if Intel were able to launch Moorestown in a timely fashion. Yeah.
