Intel to show off Atom-based MeeGo smartphone

article published on 14 February, 2011

MeetMeeGo tweeted a teaser picture today, revealing that Intel will show off an Atom-based MeeGo smartphone tomorrow at the Mobile World Congress. The unknown device will be unveiled alongside a MeeGo tablet, although both are still mostly unknown.

Have you thought the possibility that Nokia didn't used Meego because they didn't have resources to develop a product with it? After all, Meego is partly intels product also so they might have some know how also how to make it better...

Android is open, but not secure. Too many back doors required to support the Google business model. It is primarily targeted at StrongARM processors. It is heavily Java-based. It has the worst reliability and performance on the market. And I have a Droid X, so it does not get much better than that.

MeeGo is open, based on x86, developed in C++, uses Qt Mobile UI. it is an ideal platform for building secure, fast, and open applications. I hope it lives on. If it does, there are thousands of Qt/Linux apps ready to drop in until the Qt Mobile apps reach critical mass.
