People shopuld stop thinking that Harmattan/MeeGo is total restart. Harmattan is Maemo 6 and it's the first OS that have finally gone full circle(where S^4 will follow a bit later) and was developed pararell to Maemo 5. Nokia clearly got big plans for Harmattan looking at the market share estimates from Nokia for 2011 and why shouldn't they? Harmattan is the one where they really can start developing something that's not just a stopgap.

This is taking much longer than it should from Nokia, but only because they made the right decissions especially with Qt, Maemo and Symbian imo.

Will this mean that Harmattan/MeeGo is instant winner? Of course not, but at least now all the Trolltech buying years back, buying Symbian and turning it to open source(Symbian Foundation) and making Maemo their high end OS start to really come together in Q4.
