Marketshare is not (just) an indication of financial performance... it's an indication of market penetration (mindshare, popularity, number of 'nodes' out there, etc).

I think it's a key indicator of a platform's success...

Understood, but I meant moderating in a broad sense. I fully support community self-moderating.

Anyway back to the show...

Hardly the point (although quite frankly I didnt find it that complicated). It was meant to give an example of the eye candy that could be created simply with meego.

But I do not think it can save Nokia on high-end smartphone market.

It is the developers and apps that really matters.

Just beautiful UI is not enough, like another Palm.

Apple has got the most support from developers and have many great apps.

Android has the most powerful hardware.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 also spent a lot of many to invite developers.

What is Nokia doing now ?
haha i think the new nokia meego ui can beet the crap out of ios and android, i bet steve jobs takes a look at the meego page everyday just to see what's going to destroy apple, really take a look at the video in my post, and get ready for the UPCOMING LEGEND, meego .

Also, Symbian takes most smartphone market share in Africa/Asia/Latin America.

No reason to give up now.

But Symbian cannot take over the high-end market.

When Android phone get cheaper, Symbian will lose the market.
I'm sorry but it seems like you have been living under a rock in 2010... Because Nokia has clearly stated that _Symbian is no longer a high-end OS_.. it's a _low to mid-range OS_..

MeeGo will be the high-end OS..

Like Texrat said, your points are... pointless..

I don't give a rats *** about what market MeeGo will or will not save. As long as Nokia continue to produce the best phones I will buy them. If they come with MeeGo or Symbian, I don't care. There will be no difference between them, only MeeGo will simplify software development for new hardware, making Nokia able to get those new and exotic devices out faster, and diversify more regarding CPU, screen, GPU, IO and so on.

Symbian will not go away anytime soon, and will also be found on high end devices along with MeeGo.
