MeeGo will live on and grow, but the N9 will be hobbled by Nokia refusing (not officially just in dribs and drabs) to provide the necessary updates (drivers and other binary blobs) that N9 owners will need to upgrade.

I'll wait and see how bad the vendor OS lockin is before considering buying what should be a device (and OS) pretty much perfect for me.




I don't think we have the full picture. Nokia will continue to use resources on Meego. Only a fool would put all his eggs into a single basket.


i agree and i have to say the meego and and nokia dev and designer's have done a spectacular job... its a sexy device and a great platform (qt :D).

the problems are all management not technology... which is sad because those eggs in the meego basket are looking pretty cool.
