Intel pushes on with Meego, despite Nokia's abandonment |
|
|
Despite being “disappointed”, Intel plans not to follow in the footsteps of erstwhile Meego supporter Nokia and has outlined plans to continue pushing forward along with other investors in the platform. At Mobile World Congress, Intel made several announcements regarding the MeeGo open source platform and the industry  momentum backing it along with its popular range of Atom processors. Meego is set to find its way onto multiple devices, including netbooks, smart TVs, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment systems. Reports quoted SVP and general manager of Intel's software and services group, Renée James, from the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, as saying that the while Intel was disappointed by Nokia's decision, its decision and resolve on the Meego platform is “only stronger.” Reports also pointed to Meego partners including AMD, Novell, Texas Instruments, ST Ericsson, and telecommunications companies like Orange and Sprint that are still part of the project. Intel plans to have MeeGo tablets based on its popular netbook platform, the Atom chip, on sale later this year, followed sometime later by handsets, reports said. At the Mobile World Congress, the company showcased a new user interface for MeeGo running on tablets that featured a columnar format, which consolidated information from multiple sources such as Twitter, email, social networks, people, videos and photos, all under a single head of “My Friends”. Last week, Fujitsu announced a MeeGo-based notebook for distribution in Asia Pacific. Other OEM majors supporting Meego include Acer, Asus, and Toshiba. |
