Nokia and Intel created MeeGo

One of the most anticipated events during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona became the announcement and release of the MeeGo platform operating system. Nokia and Intel combined its Maemo and Moblin products into a single unit and developed a new platform that will manage multimedia phones, netbooks, PDAs, automobile computers and connection to the Internet from home TVs. It is expected that the new operating system will first appear on Nokia N900 mobile, which will go on sale in the second half of 2010.
At the same time developers, while creating applications, will use the Qt environment. This will allow anyone make his own programs for several types of devices. This software is distributed via Ovi Store and Intel AppUpSM Center.

MeeGo will complement usual talks with video calls. In addition, it will have entertainment services, as well as access to the Internet. This will allow manufacturers produce the next generation of models that can play and burn photos, videos and sounds of a very high quality. MeeGo graphic system can handle video-conference with high quality pictures and sound, as well as use the phone for other trivial needs.
The smartphones using MeeGo will have access to the Internet at high speed, show movies of high (HD) quality and perform multiple tasks simultaneously. These devices, according to marketers, will be in demand in the near future.
MeeGo compact operating system for netbooks loads very quickly and works reliably. It is based on Linux technology that allows each user to customize the gadget himself and actively pursue all opportunities of installed applications.
Automobile on-board computers based on MeeGo support all navigation applications, and the car becomes a full-fledged Internet access point, and the driver can, without detracting from the management, use any desired network application – whether the travel information or recording favorite music.
