Except Nokia didn't abandon Meego. They're strategy is pretty straightforward and sound.
1) Focus on WP7 for the short/medium term. They'll be the premiere phone on the OS and if it takes off, they'll rake in the cash.
2) In the meanwhile MS gives them a boatload of money.
3) Develop Meego in the background and push it later down the line.
The problem, as noted in the leaked stories, is that they didn't have a pipeline of Meego phones that would be ready to go. And while the phone design looks great, the OS looks a bit stale still. So get the OS in good shape, while not hemorraging too much cash.
- eonwe 15y agoI am having problems believing the 3rd point as Nokia is just laying of a lot of Meego-developers. As for current Maemo/Meego-experience, I think not much can actually be said before the phones appear at stores this fall.
- brmorris 15y agonokia are not laying off any meego developers.
