MeeGo: Nokia and Intel merge Maemo and Moblin

• beamso 17y ago
  It seems like a premature announcement. No real roadmap as yet. Nokia reps are saying that Maemo 6 is MeeGo compatible, but I've no idea if I can upgrade my Nokia N900 to Maemo 6 either.

    "The first release of MeeGo is expected in the second quarter of 2010 with devices launching later in the year" Doesn't sound premature to me

  Why did they have to name it after a H.P.Lovecraft critter?

  I wonder if this means they are dropping plans to move Maemo to QT? Moblin is Gnome/GTK based (as is Maemo currently) and Intel doesn't have Nokia's crossplatform reasons to be committed to QT.

    From http://meego.com/about/faq http://meego.com/about/faq MeeGo builds upon the Moblin core software platform and reference user experiences, adding the Qt UI toolkit from Maemo.

  I think it sounds like a great idea. We don't need a one-OS-per-vendor market. Consolidating mobile OSes could be a very good thing.

  So now Nokia is supposed to maintain 3 different smartphone OSes (Symbian, Maemo and MeeGo) and brand all of them as "the best mobile OS ever"? Nice strategy to fight Apple, Google and MS indeed...
