According to some latest statistics, Nokia's R&D expense is several times of its competitors'. But look at how many new smartphones (Andorid alone) have been put out by Samsung, HTC and Motorola. Nokia seems to have grown so big that it becomes unefficient. In a way, MeeGo might be bleeding Nokia out. So Nokia has to cut it loose to save itself. But I don't think putting all the eggs in the WP7 basket is a smart thing to do, especially considering WP7's less than satisfactory progress after its release. They can try out different choices, Android, WebOS (although it looks like HP has their own "big" plan with WebOS) or even separating Meego out as an individual company to keep it thin and active.

复 Nokia抛弃Meego在我看来是不可思议的事情，

N9 早取消了

1月份决定不上市

复最关键的是

所以目前的最佳选择

就是埋头苦干早点把meego+QT养大成人，暂时的落后算不了什么，还有低端的收入顶着。要是别有用心的媒体分析师之类和打酱油的忽悠的乱了方寸，才是自寻死路。

Elop如果做出这个决定，他就是北美来的深海同志。

复我觉得主要是市场推广的问题

在北美可能尤其如此

毕竟那是google,apple, ms的大本营。

在中国就好一些，我在上海去年底就参加过Intel关于meego的推广活动好几次，不过暂时没有nokia的，可能是因为还没有产品可以show.

另外在csdn也有好些讨论meego的。

复号外！ Nokia要抛弃Meego了

家园

结果出来了

global mobile ecosystem

Symbian，MeeGo 都还在

复结果出来了

这个不就等于Meego被抛弃了么

复结果出来了

这是我见过最差劲的决策，要是直接宣布抛了

Symbian和MeeGO，至少要说明自己有点果断。现在这个说法表明了诺基亚自己都对联合微软没有自信，诺基亚的内部分歧现在更为表面化。

现在Symbian+MeeGo+WP……还嫌自己包袱不够多吗？

技术上目前的诺基亚SDK也不支持WP……

另外，

kind of makes sense though

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..

你没读懂，Symbian和MeeGo都挂了

因为WP7的手机最早上市是今年底，大批上市是明年，所以在此之前还要靠塞班撑着。但从现在起不会有一分钱R&D投给Symbian了，Symbian的手机是多卖一台算一台，直到WP7能撑台面为止。

MeeGo么，成了教主口中的"Hobby"，就是做做玩玩的东西，压根不打算大规模上市了。MeeGo开发部门的头也走了。

NOK should have bought PALM

They missed that opportunity. Now as you said, Elop opted to be the big fish in the small bond, rather than a small fish in the big pond. Android has its own preferred vendors: Motorola, HTC and Samsung. Motorola launched the first commercially successful Android phone and helped establish Android in the market; HTC made the first Android phone and the first Google phone, plus many successful Android handsets; Samsung made the 2nd Google phone and it has the scale. Nokia would not have preferred treatment in an Android Ecosystem.

But they can get preferred treatment from MS. Nokia to MS now is like Motorola to Google in 2009. Nokia is now the preferred vendor of WP, and they have the right to customize WP any way they want, something MS never granted to any other vendor. What will HTC and Samsung think? They will just drop WP and dedicate all their efforts to Android. Then the WP ecosystem becomes by and large an MS-NOK thing.

And yes, NOK's time-to-market is a major problem. WP7 on EXISTING hardware by the end of the year? I guess those guys did spend most of their time polishing PowerPoint.
