Yes, but they’ve set the target pretty high, presumably because the environment is not as small/efficient. Now, that said, there is a place for this kind of environment, but they’ve kind of painted themselves into a corner by changing their name from “Mobile” to “Phone”, at precisely the wrong time. They should be moving from phones to an array of mobile devices, as there will increasingly be devices between the PC and the phone, like iPads, other tablets, handheld mobile computers (N900), etc. (See: MeeGo/Maemo/Harmattan)

It just sounds to me like their platform is going to be a little fat to really prosper primarily on phones.

All of this is, of course, MHO.

I don’t think the OS is “fat”, but you do have a good point about the name change. I guess they can give each device it’s own name.
