@badassmam: I hope you are just kiddin, Windows as the first next high end phone available in 2011? I don't get it, where is a Satio successor? Where is a X1 successor (better screen, multitouch, up to date Android version)? They will not be announced till the beginning of 2011? That means availability later in the first half of 2011? Is the UIQ drama repeating itself all over again - meaning too little, too late? I feel like Moto got the message but SE simply do not.
No, badassmam said that there will be something announced in September or November which will be high end, possibly Windows 7. He did not say it will be the only high end announcement, in fact he said he does not know about anything else. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Looking at the release history I have been experiencing for almost ten years it takes them often more than half a year between announcement and market availability - just look at Satio and X10 (and see what software version X10 is running at the moment...). Now is almost July - so unless they do change fundamentally I cannot see me having a Satio II in 2010.
If they proof me wrong I am delighted, e.g. look at the new iPhone or even Sony's NEX-5: available on the market very soon after the announcement. Just do it. |

Meego Schmeego, you guys are very funny.
Take a peak: http://www.engadget.com/2010/[....]ets-makes-its-first-appearance
SE should consider Meego as one of the OS they develop to run on their devices. The UI is just irresistable and way better than Android's latest offering. |

Irresistible UI is just a part of great OS. If there aren't many apps that run on it, it will never be successful. |

That's how the IOS's started right, without any single application? Even Android does not have that many applications which are as useful as the ones on IPhone. That UI will surely put Meego's name on the map. I think developers will like it. |

I'm sorry, but Meego looks like the last UIQ concepts, which isn't really attractive to me to be honest.
And as phoner already said, the apps are one of the most important things for a successful OS.
I also predict that WM7 is going to be huge, especially the business version could be interesting for people who don't like those colorful and shiny operating systems. |

Applications are just one part of what makes an OS good. But then again, one must remember that huge selection of applications are not made overnight. It will take some time to make one. The Iphone app store is a living proof to that, as we all know. With regard to the Meego's UI resembling the last UIQ concept, again this is a vanilla UI and still can be made to look even better with a custom one. I know to each, his own, but Meego's UI still looks better than the normal Android UI at least for now. Rumour has it that Android 3.0 will have a revamp UI.

Err people tend to forget the influence google and Apple have on people and thereby the developers.Meego which shall be used only by Nokia and probably LG, doesnt cater to huge crowd like Android and therefore wouldnt really attract developers to put their money into it. |

Does anyone care to remember that Meego and Symbian use the same toolkit for app development and an app written for Symbian can be deployed for Meego and vice versa without rewriting it?

I don't see how people can claim that the meego UI looks heaps better than say Android or IOS4. For me, it looks very crammed and it takes a lot of design cues from other more popular OS's. |

That UI looks dull and boring to me. The OS itself is quite interesting I must say.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Yep, what's even better is that you can run it on other phones too if you install the infrastructure (Qt) They had a nice little demo from that at the MWC

Sorry Friends,
I just want to draw your attention to this point
Couple days ago I noticed MOTOROLA MILESTONE , since I live in Kuwait I noticed the keyboard has both Arabic and English fonts !
Android systems doesn't support and they didn't announced any kind for langauge support even in the newly coming ver 3.0 
I wonder How Motorola did it ? did they just upgraded it because it is Open source ? If it was like that , Why  didn't do it in the X10 ? 
By the way I cheked that Milestone , it has Android ver 2.0
The only reason I bought my VIVAZ is it because No Android device support Arabic langauge
I'm still loyal to  |

Meego is the last thing Sony Ericsson needs right now. They need to continue to focus on bringing out great products on the platforms they currently support today. Meego looks to be a good OS, but it'll just sap resources from other projects at this point.
