Why should the N9 be a meego only device. Why not give it the option of being Symbian/Meego/Android/WP7 and allow owners to reflash it with what they like.
Also allow FOSS developers to create their own OSes.
Heck if they just released an E7 with that option Id jump on it.

Plus, as a Nokia fan I (personally) will stop buying anything from Nokia if they _did_ actually use another OS.. Because if they did they are basically showing everyone that they've officially failed and are taking the easy route out.. Hence nomore innovation and exciting new stuff..
But, I also highly doubt that Elop is talking about a new OS..

What would be really cool is if Nokia eventually built symbian as a layer on top of Meego, like android has done with davlik on top of linux. If that were the case you would have roughly 2/3 of the smartphone market sitting on linux, and it would allow the components manufacturers to create linux kernel drivers that should work with any of these handsets. Then you might see variations like mer, meego, maemo, groucho, zeppo, and harpo as possibilities on top of a meego base.
Is that good for nokia or htc or the other manufacturers, or just good for consumers and hobbyists? I don't know. It is certainly not good for apple, because it would make it easier and faster for other companies to get handsets out, and would make it easier to develop alternative user experiences on top of the linux kernel.
