a) why didn't nokia do this 12months ago? b) dalvic is apache licensed so Myriad wont have to release the code

  a) that would make it easy for competing platform to be run on top of their own "next big thing". kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? they could just start building android devices outright.

  In response to a) - Nokia wants (wanted?) their own platform. The last thing they have wanted to do is support Android in any form. All that might be about to change though - they are announcing some strategy changes on Friday.

  You have to think like a Nokia exec. They were a leader in smartphones but now have no viable smartphone OS. Somebody ports Android to their smartphone hardware The correct response is to delay the release of the next version of meego to improve the security to prevent this sort of hacking.
