MeeGo, the new upcoming Operating System, combining both, Moblin, and Maemo is going from strength to strength following the recent announcement of opening up the platform to Developers. We have also now been given a sneak preview of what MeeGo may look like.
At the recent IDF developers event in China, MeeGo mobile screenshots were shown, so too were a simple example of MeeGo on a Netbook. The first release of MeeGo is expected as early as the second quarter of this year, according to the Linux Foundation website, though how far beyond that before we see actual product is still open.
What is clear though is that the approach of creating an operating system that crosses different devices is looking like it could be working. With brands such as BMW on board, alongside hardware manufacturers such as Acer, Asus and of course Nokia, not to mention the many software vendors, the future of MeeGo is already looking very promising.
"The MeeGo project is being met with enthusiastic support from companies and developers who want to seize the market opportunity that exists for the next-generation of computing devices. By working with a common set of tools and open technologies for building these devices, MeeGo developers will be able to easily reach the biggest addressable market available.” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation.
