Nokia Drops MeeGo!





OmG!!who saw that coming?? Nokia has been struggling for the last 4 years..recently they decided o start manufacturing windows phone 7 and kill Symbian..now they decided to drop MeeGO!!

MeeGo was nokias only hope at coming back to the mobile market but production of MeeGo phones are really slow and Elop said they will be able to make only one MeeGo device by the end of 2011 and only announce 3 devices by 2014...by that time they will have to shut down the company and sell their employees on ebay..anyway they made a move on windows phone 7 but wp7 itself isn't a fully grown OS...compared to major OSes like iOS and android its still at a very early stage...

this is what Stephen Elop had to say for himself:

"I tried to call Oistämö, but his phone battery was dead. "He must have been trying an Android phone that day," says Elop. When they finally spoke late on Jan. 4, "It was truly an oh-s--t moment-and really, really painful to realize where we were," says Oistämö. Months later, Oistämö still struggles to hold back tears. "MeeGo had been the collective hope of the company," he says, "and we'd come to the conclusion that the emperor had no clothes. It's not a nice thing."
