Thanks for the video.
Nothing special out of it thought, at least nothing that we didn't knew.
I am glad that he, at least admitted, with Maemo they have done horrible job to attract developers and that GUI and end User satisfactions is really important for MeeGo, another area that they lack behind in Maemo...
For now it looks like MeeGo will follow exactly the same business plan with Android with the difference that MeeGo will be fully Open while Android is not fully Open and second Android is based on Linux kernel while MeeGo is a full linux OS. Both of those aspects have very little or none interest to the end user and by both being commercial products this is what is matters the most by the end of the day.
Maemo's strong aspects are multitasking and the amazing browsing experience. From my point of view if Android, with lets say Android 3.0 by the end of the year manage to face-lift their multitask experience and add Chrome Browser with Flash 10.1 support and DivX certification for their media player to Android platform plus with the huge support they have from developers, then it will be really, really really, I mean really hard for MeeGo (or anyone else) not to compete with it but come even close. I am not even discussing that Android is already inside many upcoming tablets and new hardware with it are leaking in weekly bases it may not be on TVs and cars yet but by already being in phones and tablets Android is already a multi hardware platform OS..
I guess time will tell. I am following both MeeGo and Android development very closely.

Google's philosophy will hinder Asian success, unless they find out another way to track its users without data connection.

Maybe not to you, but both of those aspects (open, full linux OS) are of EXTREME importance to me, and I'm sure to many other users and developers.
All other considerations aside, the Big Brother is Watching aspect alone of Android phones makes them an automatic fail for me. I'll never own another Android phone.
I think nokia should have placed the end-user satisfaction to top of their list much sooner, i know four people besides me that uses N900 and they are all very disapointed with the GUI and the experience they have had with this phone. Personally im very happy with my phone but only after all the modifications i have made.

It's about 45min, so perfect for a rainy Saturday morning.
There are a number of other videos from the summit here:

Enjoy :-)
