The story of Nokia MeeGo – TaskuMuro

Excellent history:

Choosing Intel as a partner in developing the OS and providing hardware was most probably a grave mistake. Intel has developed x86-based Atom SoCs for years, but it was only this year that the first x86-based smartphones were shipped to consumers. Even now Intel has no LTE baseband modem to provide and this situation is estimated to last until 2013. Moreover, Intel hasn't had a low or medium cost Atom SoC to compete with low cost Android smartphones.
