I was thinking about what Nokia had decided and thought to myslef: ok, that's their way, I don't like it but respect it. They're making money in this business, I don't. But...

Was Ubuntu or Fedora or Slack built with any particular device in mind? I don't think so. I guess there was a generic platform spec like x86, some more or less generic life support spec for extensions, cards, NICs etc. and a bunch of holy developers that just took it and built it. So... In my opinion there is no time & place for desperation. Instead, there is an urge to take the market snapshot and see where there is a space for MeeGo to be competitive vs. Android or WP7.

I say, software is a soft thing that should accomodate for the hard thing. Of course it is much easier when you got device vendor designing hardware for your soft platform, but until device conform a range of technical specification, your software can accomodate. And this is the future for MeeGo project - to let users have a 3rd option in mobile arena, just the same way Linux gave option to Windows users ages ago. So... my fellow developers, don't despair look at the new opportunities, please.

That was me, a humble mobile device user ;)
