Are you not using this failure device right now? Infact if you saying N900 is an economical failure then you meaning the whole NiT things?
NIT admittedly was pretty nice back in the day, but with smartphone, netbook and tablet offerings, pretty much obsolete today.

There is really only one reason MeeGo might do any good:
-Intel
Don't kid yourself man, N900 was an epic economic failure. Don't even get me started software and support wise.
In fact, if MeeGo doesn't do better than Maemo it will be their biggest failure ever, might just end up like Kin.
At the moment there is no better OS than Maemo for me.
Thanks to Ari Jaaksi and to whole Maemo team for this great OS.

PradaBrada, nobody talked about N900 being a commercial success, they just agreed with Jaaksi's vision.
I'm so fustrated that this incident has sparked the "Nokia to go Android/WP7" discussion again. Getting calls from Schmidt? Well yeah I bet, calling to play golf for eg.!
I think it might be a good thing that Elop's cleaning the house a little bit, so that there's less people in the development chain. All the articles about Nokia have criticised Nokia having too many execs, so maybe Elop wants to open up some lines to listen to by removing extra execs.
None of us are business professionals here, so I think we should keep our minds open to the fact that we might have no capability to understand the real picture that is forming behind Nokia's exec exodus.
However, I think we can be fairly sure, that were Jaaksi's or Vanjoki's positions somehow critical to their product, we might not have seen them go at all.

Lets start some more rumors. I heard, and I'm not uncovering my source, Nokia is going to ship devices with iOS!!
Thats it. I'm out of hash, but after reading your post, I'm sure you smoked enough for a few days.
As for news. Sucks. Seemed like a bright fellow, a visionary.
We should be realistic! the true is no one her knows what plans the new CEO and new members will have. Ofcourse we will see a meego phone but next we dont know...
And btw why on earth would Ari leave nokia now 2 month before release of the most important flagship phone. Atleast for me it smells bad Again I hope I am wrong!!!
One more thing a love my N900 and want Meego to success but at the moment it is very frustrating to her about how shaky nokia is atm. ofcourse media helps it make it even more shaky...

I still love my N900, I am not getting N9 if it doesn't come with the muscles I wanted in my next device. MeeGo may be NooGo since so far there hasn't been any official demo and with the Devel Release version is a god damn crap comparing the Maemo5 then I think I might holiding off and saving up for the next device instead.
Jaaski's left and the rest of the MeeGo team might be sooner abandoning if this keep going. Ahhh frustration!

You should really lighten up instead of being so biased all the time.
If I'm a fanboy of anything, it's cutting edge technology. I want to see Nokia succeed as much as anyone, I've just realized a while ago now that isn't likely to happen. If however they do manage to prove me wrong, which I really hope they do, more power to them.

If Nokia was being run by any decent leader, Symbian would've been dropped years ago and the entire Ovi Team would've been out on their asses long ago now. Fact is it wasn't, and now with OPK getting the boot FINALLY something is being done to straighten out this organization.
