The only sensible action from Nokia would be to phase out Symbian in favour of Meego ASAP. That would give them a strong ecosystem with the ability to tap into the Android ecosystem over night. The only sad part here is that Nokia hasn't gotten Meego devices out already. Moving to windows is suicide for Nokia, that platform is already DOA. Following Meego development, it is clear that Intel is investing in the platform, and it will compete against Android in embedded space with or without Nokia. Nokia controlling Qt will be extremely foolish to throw that advantage away. If Nokia is to focus their efforts as Elop suggests, I see no other way than to accelerate Meego development. Diverging forces to third OS now will only delay their own ecosystem more, strengthening their competition.
