    Just to join int, try to stop the company that made the best, most reliable phones for the longest time from being sold down the river by an MS plant.

      If Meego is superior then where is it? Is it a Marketing Deficiency?

      Eerie coincidence:

      Amiga: at the time of its market debut, vastly superior in technology to its market competitors. Marketed like crap. Fell behind competitors as their technologies advanced past Commodore's anemic R&D.

      Meego: at the time of its market debut, vastly superior in technology to its market competitors. Marketed like crap. Fell behind competitors as their technologies advanced past Nokia's (soon-to-be) anemic R&D.

      Also, the names are disturbingly similar. As I said, eerie coincidence. Maybe.

      Why, yes, I was an Amiga warrior in the platform flamewars of the mid-80s. Why do you ask?

    I guess that a huge drop in the share value might mean that this plan B might get some actual backing from the majority of shareholders. The share has dropped around 20% since the Microsoft announcement.
