MeeGo Linux coming to netbooks, smartbooks soon

,----[ Quote ]
| The folks behind the MeeGo Linux project 
| launched the first public beta version of 
| the operating system recently. But thatâs 
| just the first step. MeeGo is backed by 
| Intel and Nokia, and they have big plans 
| to get the paltform on all sorts of 
| devices including netbooks and smartphones 
| soon.
| 
| The netbook version of MeeGo doesnât look 
| like anything all that new if youâve been 
| following Moblin Linux for a while. MeeGo 
| was born out of the merger of the Moblin 
| and Maemo projects. And it looks like the 
| UI is mostly Moblin-based, with a heavy 
| dose of home screen widgets for checking 
| your email, seeing status updates from 
| your contacts, and launching apps. There 
| are tabs along the top of the user 
| interface for launching different zones, 
| including a people zone (for your 
| contacts) or a media zone for playing 
| music and movies.

| distributions include device vendors Acer 
| and Asus, set-top maker Amino, automotive 
| firm BMW Group, and a number of software 
| firms based in China.

MeeGo project garners new industry participants

,----[ Quote ]
| MeeGo, the unification of Intelâs Moblin
| and Nokiaâs Maemo, and shepherded by the
| Linux Foundation, is getting a lot of
| support from a variety of companies. From
| hardware developers to software houses,
| from games to automotive to embedded
| solutions providers, the recent
| announcement indicates an influx of
| potentially millions of developer-hours.
| Some of the new participants are no-
| brainers, while some are a bit surprising.
| Whether itâs an effort to hedge bets for or
| against Android, or just widening the
| market potential for their products, the
| end result is hopefully a better MeeGo,
| which is better for you and me.

| Today is the culmination of a huge effort

| Moblin, and we are happy to open the
| repositories and move the ongoing
| development work into the open - as we set
| out to do from the beginning.
