He's trying to pass this off as a startup growth post, but it's pretty much a direct response to calm the VCs who made Buffer happen in the first place.
They could sell this to a few geeks. But that's it. Meego never came even close to Android in terms of quality. And ern Android would probably not work for Nokia. Nokia is doing exactly the right thing - just years too late.
The main reason they are "too late" is that MS has screwed them - first by limiting the capabilities of WP7 phones, then by betraying them right at the time they launched their flagship and saying there'd be no upgrades to WP8 for ANY phones, and then finally for forcing them to wait forever to get Windows 8 devices out. In my view the Microsoft partnership has been a disaster for Nokia.
To this day n9 > lumia.
Nokia really had something and the sales are there to prove it. The lack of apps is disappointing, but the solid basics make it a great phone to this day.
It's too bad they couldn't get an android virtual machine working with the n9 to bring some of android's app collection over.
