MeeGo was a nice OS about 3 years too late.
I have a N9 at work. It is nice. But with no ecosystem it nothing more than a feature phone. And whilst it is reasonable to focus on feature phones they aren't the future. Even in third world countries. They buy a feature phone whilst dreaming of an iPhone.
- stcredzero 15y agoSo all Apple has to do is to bring the price point of the 3GS down to feature phone levels to take over the world?
- rbanffy 15y agoI don't think the iPhone experience is right for a limited function device. For those, a display and keys may be a better solution. It's also cheaper and the battery life is much better.
- stcredzero 15y agoI said to bring the price down, not the experience.
- rbanffy 15y agoSome people just want to dial numbers and talk to people.
- stcredzero 15y agoI think tons of people in developing nations will want something more, like payments. I suspect many would jump at the chance to do those things on an iPhone.
- artsrc 15y agoTo late? People replace their phones frequently. The mobile app market is diverse and vibrant, with frequent new players and products. If new ecosystem can not develop then Windows Mobile was just as bad a choice as MeeGo.
