They Will have a better chance of succeeding on the smartphones than Microsoft (or Gnome3). But they will always be behind Google and Apple. I think Nokia blew it when they got embraced by Microsoft.
Meego was in the position to be "Android" and Nokia was the biggest company in the world. Nowadays Nokia is about to be "Extinguished". It will be interesting to se what Jolla can do.
They are way behind on Apps and it is hard to see how they will be able to compensate for that.

Yeah, it's a wait-and-see thing. Thought it was worth a mention though.

I've sent off a direct question to Jolla to see if meego can be installed on my now-old Samsung Gravity Smart phone, and if it can be installed to my netbook as well. We'll see. Their progress is seeming more and more interesting to me as of late.
