So far, Meego is vaporware. It looked close, but just last week, they dropped their first Meego phone before it was released: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/09/nokia-meego-idUSLDE7180X420110209
Until there is a Meego phone on the market - I consider the platform vaporware (again, that is my opinion). Stephen Elop did announce last Fri (in the Strategy and Investor briefing in London), that Nokia is still going to be developing the Meego platform, as their R&D platform. My opinion is that this statement was mostly made to appease the Nokia workers that walked out, and the Finish Government. Obviously, this whole partnership is going to take time to play out. So any discussion now is very premature (I agree we will need to wait to really see how everything plays out).
