Nokia Expats do what Nokia should have: Jolla Mobile (opens in new tab)

> Supporters of Nokia's failed Meego need to understand that there just isn't room for so many mobile platforms.

What so no-one should try anymore? People said similar things about Android. I would agree that this is a hard fight to take, but it is not unreasonable. As the major players create more closed off ecosystems there will be a market for this. The question is how big and how well these guys can fill it. Given the audience size is in the billions, you only need to pick up a few % market share for this to be viable. So I would think the challenge is not market saturation, but building a quality system and not getting shot out of the water by competitors legal teams.

There's a niche market. I'd pay $500+ USD for an open source phone that made phone calls and ran native Linux apps. Imagine putting SELinux on that thing... now I'm getting excited.
