was yesterday, the roumers about them ditching meego, and moving to Win Phone 7.
...and our own take, including the plausibility of WP7 for phones and MeeGo for tablets, is from today.Quote:

If Nokia could port some of its design features on top of the Android OS, it wouldn't be of as a big jump for its current customers.
As good as the reviews are for WP7, the underlying factor is that it still hasn't managed to sell well.
Yes, that is puzzling isn't it, Nokia have rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbished dare I say so much money on research and produced nothing good new or innovitive. (I'm worried about the N900 fan boys coming, but luckily there are only 2, in the world.)
WP7 is a really good OS, but its lacking a lot of features, also say what you like about Symbian, but they always had a very good sms system, the way it handled delivery reports was excellent. I'd love to see someone bring that into the WP7 SMS interface.
Going WP7 won't help Nokia. They need to move quicker, be more agile with products and worst of all, actually make a new product that has real mass appeal. Nobody is really looking forward to a new Nokia launch these days, prefering Android and dare I say it Apple for innovation (pah!)
