Of course Microsoft has not invented anything themselves they always copy :@
It will not be reused, it will live on. Live is not to be contained, it may show up everywhere.

Calm down guys, they did this for a reason. The similarities between Stingray and the N9 aesthetically is to obviously cut down in production costs ... the same reason why Palm and HP have been throwing that beautiful OS into the same hardware form factor with incremental updates.
For a reason, sure. Maybe the similarities in design are meant for the short lived N9 never do be recognizable on the street!
Unlike with the N900 you will not get any “what is that you are holding” question? (Ironically, even in Nokia sales points I have received this question 2 times)
Everybody will assume your N9 generic –a-child-can-design-it-if-somebody-cramps-the-transistors-in-it-flat-square is just a WP7.

This is exactly what i was thinking. The window 8 demo had the similar swiping through the different multitasking application .
This was inevitable. In fact I was already waiting for the painful moment where the MeeGo or Maemo 5 user interface would be introduced by S. Jobs as Apple engineered a revolutionary new way to…
But Microsoft doing through placing their mole inside of Nokia saves them the cost of acquisition or law suites. (Skype and Hotmail, Navision will live on but have cost them)
Actually when i first saw it i thought it was fake, but after i saw the C0 i started thinking it could be real.
But really i'm not surprised at all that they would have Android running on some hw in the labs..... doesn't really mean anything.
Well, that's proof positive that they had at least tested the viability of Android.
Now I'm wondering why they went WP7 over Android and are choosing to ignore Maemo/Harmattan/MeeGo.
There's something to that last part none of us know that extends past the whole "Elop's worshipping his Microsoft lord and masters" stuff floating around.

He was and remains to be a major Microsoft shareholder.
