Archaic? The N9 is the first shipping product form Nokia with Meego a newer OS running on a qHD display with a 1ghz processor. It would do you good to read the actual article.

It may just fail because the market is already saturated with mobile platforms.

"Archaic" may not be the right word for MeeGo, but "orphan" certainly is. This is going to be the only MeeGo phone Nokia makes, as they've already announced they're switching to WP7. It may be the only MeeGo phone that anybody makes, ever. Why invest in a platform that will be abandoned in less than a year?

Isn't Meego a rejuvenation of Maemo which was dying?
