Why do people say MeeGo is dead?
This according to this doc from Nokia:
http://i.nokia.com/blob/view/-/10159...0-f-11-pdf.pdf "MeeGo: A Linux-based, open source software platform. Under our new strategy, MeeGo has become an open-source, mobile operating system project with an emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences." and "MeeGo has become an open-source, mobile operating system project with an emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences. We aim to bring a variety of innovations that emerge from our MeeGo program as well as learnings from the Nokia N9 to future products." Sounds to me like it's still alive within Nokia with a focus on future products.. When did Nokia actually claim MeeGo was dead? |

N9 was supposed to be the flag ship of new series of phones, AFAIR. Then something happened and Nokia changed to MS and WP. If somebody cares to elaborate on the change of strategy, I'd appreciate it too.

It is dead because even if they have a long term strategy with any other OS their short term strategy and Windows Phail will kill them.

My 50 cents: MeeGo IS in Store - Maemo is NOT
|
Re: Why do people say MeeGo is dead?
Because Nokia abandoned Meego development, as well as Intel. Harmattan is not Meego (it's more Maemo really), and never became Meego proper (even if there were such plans in the past).
If Meego isn't dead, it's only because of the Mer (Meego Relaunched) project. Otherwise, Intel's and Nokia's Meego is dead. |

MeeGo is more alive than Maemo5 and Maemo5 isn't dead is it? It's all up to the community.

I don't know why people still insist on referring to it as MeeGo.
(can't blame them thanks to the dumb/confused marketing I guess) I find that to be an extremely offensive name, I stopped calling it that ages ago Maemo6x is far more appropriate and technically more accurate. Not saying it's a direct descendant of Maemo5x, there's some significant differences. But it most certainly isn't MeeGo proper, it never even got close to fully transitioning. |
