Nobody follow these MeeGo news as closely as we do and this one single quote will get a lot of attention. After this media can always quote this and downplay N9 news.
media is still flogging the "symbian is dead" horse too, but people are snapping up N8's, E7's and looking forward to the X7, so it just goes to show that not everyone believes what they read ;)

i don't think it effects, as much as you believe, the chance of seeing future meego powered devices from nokia.

It's sad that a misunderstanding by a bunch of people who can't read should have such wide ramifications. The title on this thread is flat out untrue.

Funny to say this but N9, is what an iphone SHOULD have been.

All that Elop is saying is what we knew: Meego is not a primary platform. There is nothing new there. He is not going back to Meego as a primary platform due to the lack of viable ecosystem.

It is interesting that peter@maemo, who posts here from time to time, mentioned yesterday or so that other meego devices are in the works...

That was a contractual obligation with Intel, to release a MeeGo device (wouldn't it be cool if Intel sued Nokia for NOT bringing a MeeGo device, as the N9 is really Harmattan!), not Elop's personal choice.

just my .02 ;)
That opt-out clause (if it exists) would cost billions...

I don't think they will ever opt out WP7, but there's still a chance that they keep MeeGo in parallel, at least ;)

OK. I'll edit the title, if you feel that strongly about it. The current title is based on the first information availeable in the morning.

I'm now sure Elop has plenty of Meego products in the pipeline. We will see continuing support for Meego from Nokia.

EDIT: Title changed.

Well... at least I got a chance to see step 5 out of 5.

Symbian is tanking and we are talking about platform where phones start at 150 euros.
With MeeGo we are talking about phone that buyers most likely know much more about smartphones in general.
