The 5-minute guide to the MeeGo mobile OS
,----[ Quote ]
| In the history of stupid names for Linux
| software, MeeGo tops them all. But what is
| it exactly?
|
| That's not a very nice thing to say! But
| yes, MeeGo is an unusual name. OK, it's
| stupid.
|
| It's a new project that brings together
| Moblin, a name that you wouldn't call
| great, but neither was it embarrassing, and
| Maemo, a name that kept making people
| disagree over whether it was pronounced
| Maymo, Maimo or Meemo. Cunningly, MeeGo
| tops them both in the silly name stakes.

MeeGo OS â A (Faster) Alternative to Windows on Your Netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Steve Jobs may disagree but I think
| netbooks are fantastic. Theyâre more
| functional than a phone and more portable
| than a laptop, and feature a full keyboard
| to boot.
|
| Netbooks are capable of running regular
| operating systems, but Iâve recommended
| time and time again that users find a
| netbook-centric operating system to get the
| most they can out of their systems.
|

|
| Well, MeeGo 1.0 is now available for
| download, and while the merger has slowed
| development a little, I must say Iâm
| impressed with this operating system
| (although Iâm still not sure itâs ready for
| prime time.)

MeeGo for Netbooks released -- and it's fast
,----[ Quote ]
| The Intel- and Nokia-backed MeeGo project
| released version 1.0 of an open source
| operating system optimized for Intel Atom-
| based netbooks. MeeGo v1.0 for Netbooks --
| which we found to be speedy -- comprises
| Google's Chrome browser, Nokia's Qt 4.6,
| plus a variety of other tools, and will be
| followed next month by a handset version,
| says the project.
|
| [...]
|
| Liliputing's Brad Linder also tried MeeGo
| Netbook and found the operating system to
| be "really, really fast." The OS will run
| even faster when it is installed on a hard
| drive rather than a USB stick, he added.

Meego releases a netbook edition
,----[ Quote ]
| Meego is facing stiff competition from
| Google's Android and Chrome operating
| systems, Canonical's Ubuntu Netbook Remix
| and Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter Edition.
| Like Canonical's and Google's products,
| Meego is based on the open source Linux
| kernel.

Hands-on: MeeGo for netbooks picks up where Moblin left off
,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin 2 had its own custom Web browser
| that brought together a unique Clutter-
| based user interface and Mozilla's Gecko
| HTML rendering engine. It was a very
| compelling idea because it opened the door
| to a browsing experience with rich visual
| affects and more fluid platform
| integration. Although the concept is
| intriguing in theory, it was very difficult
| for Intel to execute on. The custom browser
| was incomplete and somewhat dysfunctional
| when we reviewed Moblin last year. Intel
| has ditched the custom browser and chose to
| adopt Google Chrome for MeeGo.
