We got the news about the cooperation of Nokia and Microsoft withing the frames of using WP7 for their gadgets of the future. The main question that comes across is the idea of having MeeGo. What about the operating system that was created in conjunction of Nokia and Intel? Will it be denied by the manufacturer?

Well, at least Intel CEO Paul Otellini is not of that idea. He is rather optimistic about the overall situation. During the interview conducted during Mobile World Congress 2011 he stated : ”I don’t see that Nokia changing its strategy changes the industry strategy,” and then added that the carriers will be always looking for the n “open, operator-friendly” OS.

MeeGo is planned to land not only to the tablets, which will appear in 2011, but also to the multiple series of the gadgets developed by Nokia. Another cooperation result- the devices for the cars are also going to be equipped with this exact OS.

So far the team of MeeGo is continuing working on development of more user-friendly features.

But Intel is not that happy with the idea of Nokia, making their OS a secondary choice, while giving the preference to Microsoft product WP7.

“We remain committed and welcome Nokia’s continued contribution to MeeGo open source… Our strategy has always been to provide choice when it comes to operating systems, a strategy that includes Windows, Android, and MeeGo. This is not changing.”

Well, Nokia it’s your choice… but you should be careful about offending one of the main technological companies.

After the data about the cooperation of the companies of Nokia and Intel and their fruitful result in the form of Meego and also the fact that Intel itself designated a new platform Atom Z6xx also known as Moorestown, most of the analysts were making guesses that most likely Nokia will manufacture a device based on both products by the end of the year.

But during his interview with The Inquirer Alberto Torres, VP of Nokia, announced that the first Nokian device based on Meego will fuction with the support  of ARM-based processor instead of Intel chip. This surprising announcement leaves a lot of space to make some guesses. Where Intel is planning to use its chip? Maybe on some other Nokian device?

Intel and Nokia announced the conclusion of long-term strategic partnership agreement, which aims to co-creation of a new class of mobile devices based on Intel chipsets. Both giants promise that these devices will combine the power of computers with communicational capabilities of mobile phones.

The plans of producers include the creation of such a device, which will in many ways surpass modern netbooks and smartphones, and along with innovative hardware, it will include a number of innovative applications and Internet services. Intel will create the hardware, and Nokia will provide its policy of use.
In addition, both companies will cooperate in the field of software with open source and will take active role in the development of oFono, ConnMan, Mozilla, X. Org, BlueZ, D-BUS, Tracker, GStreamer, PulseAudio, Moblin and Maemo. The combination of these technologies can provide the user with a full mobile Internet with rich graphics and multimedia capabilities.
The manufacturers do not reveal the details about what exactly would constitute a self-developed device, as well as when to expect its announcement.
