There seems to be a confusion about who feels bad of the recent developments. I guess there a two sorts of people emotionally attached to the meego project, on the one side the system and component hackers, on the other side the application developers (and not only 3rd party, also core platform applications). Of course for everyone who is mainly interested in working on a mobile linux distribution it's great to have new partners on board and it doesn't really matter how the project is called. But for people who tried to envision meego from the user/consumer-side the situation is at least unclear and they feel mistreated [1]. Maybe the application developer community around meego (also as opposed to harmattan) was near to non-existing if you look at actual statistics -- and so Intel had nothing to loose -- but I think for whatever comes now a huge potential of enthusiastic people is lost.
For me meego got the promise of a unified platform starting from low level components up to a marketplace for every imaginably application. As far as I understand this is not the idea of tizen, tizen being more some sort of OEM toolbox[2] and some generic efforts to have so called "apps" in the form of web pages, probably because web pages and web developers are as portable as possible these days.
