Only 3 OS platforms have survived in PC world. Windows (C#), Mac OS (Objective-C) and Linux (Java). IMHO in mobile space there is also space for 3 OS platforms only.
As a developer I am curious to learn what main development language Nokia has chosen for their platform. Symbian has lame C++ version and crappy IDE. I guess that Meego thing uses C++, right?
BTW that CEO replacement reminds me situation with coach search for Polish football team. We had Dutch for two years. Nothing changed. Players were the same, one naturalized Brazilian wasn't enough.
I'm afraid that little Finland has no enough talented developers to build something competitive to software written by world best developers gathered in SF area and Seattle. And it is so late.
There are rumors that many parts of Symbian code are highly unmaintainable, that they preferred cheap programmers over talented. If these rumors are true then Nokia is really doomed in smartphone market. And they deserve this.
