MeeGo is Nokia's latest operating system which is a joint project between Nokia with Microsoft. The first mobile phone that uses MeeGo is Nokia N9 and Nokia N950.!!!

I wouldn't exchange my watch, my iPod my scientific cal, and my camera for a smartphone, smartphones are great but come to think of it there's no smart phone that can match your professional camera, your old iPod video, your watch that you can check the time just by looking at your wrist instead of getting your phone in and out of your pocket just to check the watch, so I think they couldn't replace it, but they can however make it cheaper because the demands for the following items that you just said will get lower due to the existence of this smartphones.

I think you can also add the following: ebook reader tablet pc netbook Although readers and tablets are starting to merge, and you can read ebooks on your phone, the technology required to properly merge them isn't really available yet. These three all need to be bigger to incorporate thinks like keyboards you can actually use effectively, and screens big enough to see stuff on. Advances need to be made in things like projected keyboards and maybe pull out flexible displays. Or holograms.

You're quite right when you say that there are a lot of things that smart phones will replace. I think that it is going to be very bad for companies that might have manufactured such products, because it means that not as many people will be buying them. I know that there is no way that I would be buying a digital camera when I have this phone, and I doubt that I would ever need a home phone when I get my own house either. I would also not need to buy a calculator, so you're quite right when you say that smart phones are completely changing the world that we live in.

I do not agree with watches and camera. For watches, we can not replace them with smartphones, especially me who also work at the field (not only in office). It is more convenience to have simple watch on our hand, so we can check the time directly, without the need of tap or slide. For camera, I can not get the same depth of field which I used to get from even my old 2MP Nikon digital camera. I do not know the camera quality of iPhone. But I believe that the smartphone camera still can not surpass even simple low end digital camera from well known brand. May be in the next 5 years it will do, who knows?

Well it will affect the market of all the listed gadgets but it can never outrun these gadgets completely out of the market because technology is changing every day. The people working is R&D labs of nikon and canon are doing job as hard as those working in the labs of samsung and nokia. Professional photographers will always seek for a dedicated camera no matter how advanced a smartphone can become one day. Same is the case with other gadgets. Journalists wont stop buying dedicated voice recorders as well . However the fact that smartphones will soon occupy a mojor part of electronics market can not be neglected.:)

Not too keen on smartphones, even the best 8mp cameras do not completely replace the best cameras, just compacts. I only wore a watch the could loosely be called jewellery but have now dumped that because the strap broke and I carry a phone. Battery life does not make it a good video player but I think you could add tv remote. There will be no need for a home phone as everyone will have individual phones. So for a while yet some of the gadgets while still be required.

The issue with cameras is depth of field, the way we take photo's will have to change completely. Not saying it can't be done but not as of now.

I don't have that much knowledge regarding technical aspects of cameras but I agree with you that as of now smartphone can't replace camera, but probably will in the future

hi there my friend I think I agree with you regarding the cameras at this moment but I believe it is just a matter of time for those brains behind smartphone companies to achieve a camera feature for smartphones that can provide quality photos as good as the "real" camera can produce.
