The announcement mentions MeeGo only marginally, as a “longer-term market exploration”, and ends the paragraph with “Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year”. This sounds to me like: we won’t market any MeeGo devices in parallel with Windows Phone ones, not to hinder the latter’s success, but we’ll release the MeeGo product we’re currently working on before downscaling MeeGo back into the R&D division.

No matter how wrong my interpretation might be, let’s try to collect a few facts:

MeeGo is ready, it’s not an R&D project: a MeeGo phone will be released

Nokia’s primary platform for the middle/long term is Windows Mobile

Meego will become, within Nokia, an R&D project at best

I feel confused and fooled. Business logics are floating several metres above my head, and I cannot understand what’s the point of saying that MeeGo will be an R&D project when it’s not. To me, it’s like taking a teenager and trying to squeeze him into a baby’s cradle. Either you kill him more or less explicitly, or you take him out, let him grow and give him a chance to be a hero. We are going to have the best phone in the market this year. It might not be perfect, as the N900 clearly wasn’t, but all the premises for a brilliant future are there. And people will love it, as they loved the N900 despite it being far away from the quality standards we aspired to achieve and despite a zero-digits investment on marketing. Maemo won, against all odds.

if I had to choose between developing open-source software on top of a closed platform and developing closed-source software on top of an open-source platform, I’d much rather go for the second option: because with the first one I’d still be using and promoting a closed platform, and unless you are developing a cross-platform application or framework, you’d be doing very little good to the open source world.
