主题：号外！ Nokia要抛弃Meego了 -- 牵着一只大猫

Symbian is going to be killed off. MeeGo is just a "learning platform" for Nokia now, but without major device release on it, I don't think it will survive the war with Apple and Google.

Nokia's Steven Elop is right about one thing: it is a war about ecosystem, not just devices anymore. In this war, Google has the master plan and massive service platform behind it, Apple has the huge fan base and large application resource. Nokia? They are not even a real player. So what choices do they have? They still compare themselves with the big players like Apple and Google, and don't want to be followers in this game like Samsung and HTC (although it may not be such a bad idea), so Android is out of the picture. WebOs has been taken by its own "Turkey" HP. Meego is far from catching up. WP7 is left as the only choice. Plus Google doesn't really need Nokia, but Microsoft does. All and all, it is almost the only possible choice for Nokia.

But no actual device until end of 2011!? It's probably will be too late by then. At least nothing about Nokia and WP7 will be exciting enough to keep me wait for another year now. I'm probably more interested in a new custom Android rom than that at this point.

Interesting thing is companies like RIM are not even mentioned in such discussion anymore..
