In the Face of Android, Why Should Nokia Stick With MeeGo?

GMGruman writes "In September, Symbian 3 was Nokia's latest great hope for becoming relevant in the modern smartphone market. Now comes word that the Symbian Foundation is shutting down, ending the Symbian 3 and Symbian 4 efforts. Nokia is now banking on MeeGo, a collaboration with Intel whose release date — and fit to smartphones — is highly uncertain. InfoWorld's Ted Samson thinks that it's time for Nokia to swallow its pride and stop pretending it will ship MeeGo in time to matter, and instead consider adopting Android — or even Windows Phone 7, which after all might finally support copy and paste by the time Nokia decides to hitch its mobile wagon to a new horse."

Yes, anybody COULD have created something like the iPhone, around when the iPhone was released.

But without Apple releasing the iPhone, smartphones would probably still be using stylus's and user's would be poking around small nested menu's to accomplish things.
