Todays highend is tomorrows lowend.

N9 hardware is already not that breathtaking ant the software runs just fine. If we extrapolate a bit to the future, results can be interesting.

Who's to say this Meltemi will be Linux-based? Even if it is, it will no doubt be locked-down. I expect Meltemi devices to be nothing more than fancy Qt application launchers.

MeeGo-Harmattan is still MeeGo. Everyone was more than happy to call it that last summer. Indeed, there were a number of people declaring MeeGo to be the future, and Maemo to be the past. They were led to the MeeGo paradise by the Pied Piper of MeeGo, Quim Gil. Now that MeeGo is an embarrassment, those same people would prefer to rebrand MeeGo-Harmattan as Maemo6. Standard human behaviour.

I think it was a mistake by both Elop and people. Elop said that even Meego turned to be a hit, WP was still the main OS, so some people interpreted this sentence in the way that Elop wouldn't continue developing Meego. Actually, Elop should have said that we would support both Meego and WP. It's just a matter of how how he says it.

Guys, I love to see your faces when nokia will announce the next N— device next year. It won't be a n in the product name, It won't run Windows or Symbian and It will be geeky.

With current rate WP strategy is not going to be a long one. Unfortunately it means whatever strategy Nokia has isn't going to be a long one. I.e., all eggs in one basket has its downsides.
