It's hard to believe they would plan to make MeeGo from scratch.

A dozen years ago there was a pretty, useful, responsive, multitasking OS named EPOC, dedicated for touchscreen and keyboard.
Symbian should have been based upon it (was declared as next version of EPOC), but it seems they decided to create it from scratch. Today, ten years later, Symbian is still a crap (from a power user point of view) in comparison to old EPOC. Would they want to repeat such a failure?
