November 2010: Nokia closes Symbian to the world: can MeeGo make up the gap? >> Guardian Technology
"There's only one problem at the moment with MeeGo: nobody outside about 10 developers with l33t hax0r skills has got it running on a phone. Reports emerging form some of those close to MeeGo suggest that it might not be until June 2011 that the first MeeGo handset appears from Nokia."<br />
<br />
For all your MeeGo news, indeed.

MeeGo and the Great Betrayal Myths of tech history >> The Register
Andrew Orlowski: "MeeGo isn't coming back, and to me, looks to have all the makings of a betrayal myth. These are popular with idealistic political groups, usually (but not always) on the Left, for whom Being Right is more important than Winning. I suppose it's been around since Marx's false consciousness (although he never used the phrase); and eventually Being Right becomes the whole point.<br />
"It's not about taking power, or making it work, but demonstrating one's splendid ideological purity. Betrayal myths are also popular with technology enthusiasts too - I know, because I've seen several.<br />
"In this narrative, a bold and brilliant piece of technology is thwarted not because it isn't good enough, or has failed in the marketplace, but because of (delete where applicable) marketing incompetence, or nefarious interference. If that interference comes from Microsoft, so much the better."
