Considering who funds this site, I wonder if it is we who are standing on a burning platform.

I was always against relying so much on Nokia.

Except that Ballmer is Emperor Palpatine, Elop is Darth Vader, and they're teaming up to destroy Luke Skywalker (Qt and Meego). So we're back to the old narrative (modern capitalism). Nothing new here.

noteworthy bit of information: Stephen Elop is the 7th largest single person Microsoft shareholder, and own no Nokia stock whatsoever.
I hope legal action will be taken. it's not too late to undo this (ok probably it is, but one can dream)

So there are some rumours going on that Nokia will publish its first WP7 phone at MWC. They have a press conference there tomorrow.

And they "entered" the OS market when? Since last century, so they've lost focus for over a decade and now are only now starting to feel the effects?!?!

The amount of opinions, information and disinformation is astonishing. E.g. Eldar Murtazin writes to his twitter account that Nokia will publish a Maemo 6 device instead of Meego. Who knows. He also wrote yesterday that Nokia will deliver an Android device next year. Sometimes he knows quite well, but quite often he's FOS.

Didn't they, in fact, create the phone OS market when they co-founded Symbian Ltd. in 1998? (Together with Ericsson, Motorola, and Psion.)

Of course technically this might not have been the first phone OS, but was there any operating system for a phone that was independent of models/vendors and that developers could write applications for before this time? Any OS that was, you know, visible as such, had a name like "Windows" and "Unix", wasn't just unnamed bits and bytes in the ROM of the phone?
