Nokia, Intel demo MeeGo at IDF

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia and Intel have demoed their upcoming 
| MeeGo platform co-venture at the Intel 
| Developer Forum 2010 in Beijing, showing 
| not only how the platform is being 
| developed for netbooks, TVs and 
| smartphones, but how the system will be 
| able to cooperate from device to device. In 
| the demo video (below) an Intel 
| spokesperson plays a video streaming to a 
| netbook on a TV and a smartphone at the 
| same time.

| MeeGo is a joint venture with Nokia and is 
| built on their Moblin and Maemo mobile 
| OSes. Unlike rival operating systems, MeeGo 
| is intended to "support multiple hardware

| device segments, including pocketable 
| mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, 
| mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle 
| infotainment systems."

MeeGo May Go Somewhere With New Partners and Updates

,----[ Quote ]
| MeeGo is a Linux-based operating system for 
| portable devices. Itâs the product of a 
| partnership between Nokia and Intel which 
| brings together Nokiaâs Maemo and Intelâs 
| Moblin environment. This operating system 
| could power your smart phone and your 
| netbook as well as other devices you might 
| not consider like a vehicle or an embedded 
| system.

Comment: Has Intel's Android move wrong-footed Microsoft?

,----[ Quote ]
| The news that Intel has got the Android 
| mobile software stack from Google running 
| on Atom-based smartphone designs as well as 
| being important in its own right, could 
| also be a sign of a break in the log-jam 
| over Big Windows and ARM processors.
| 
| Maybe Intel has wrong-footed Microsoft with 
| the move, or maybe Intel is responding to a 
| Microsoft move that has not yet gone 
| public. But what does Intel and Google 
| Android have to do with Microsoft's full 
| Windows operating system and ARM, I hear 
| you ask?
| 
| Well some observers have assumed that there 
| was tacit understanding between Intel and 
| Microsoft to the effect that Intel wouldn't 
| support the Microsoft-threatening Android 
| software as long as Microsoft wouldn't 
| expand its support of the Intel-threatening 
| ARM.

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

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.
