A good thing IMO. Why should they hinder themselves by trying to support dead products that no one will (or can) ever manufacture again?

That's what i as thinking, international investors said Linkedin page.

I would guess those old Nokia employees aren't exactly poor, but it still needs HUGE amounts of cash as they are planning to do the whole thing from software to hardware.


So excited to see what comes out of this!

If they had a kickstarter or similar, I bet they could hoover up an embarrassing amount of cash from the members of this forum!

It's good news, for sure. I'm just wondering, if they insist on continuing Meego as per se (i.e. where Nokia left it), or shifting to Mer?

Of course, I hope for the latter. THAT would be something exciting.

From the Twitter linked...

We continue with open source #MeeGo , and have additional assets on top to make products

Would it not be an absolute hoot if this was Plan B?
