The way Nokia are going, I'm surprised they've even sent units out to 
devs. There are forces within Nokia that want to erase any trace of 
Meego and the devices that support it. The CEO even managed to trump the 
press release of the N9 by leaking a new WinMo phone a couple of days 
afterwards.

Given Nokia's apparent intent to rush headlong over the WinMo cliff, if 
I didn't know any better I'd say that their CEO was a Microsoft plant.
