Mixed signals upon a prospect of MeeGo Linux for netbooks

admin — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 10:02:04 +0000

Nokia voiced a partnership with Microsoft this morning to move Windows Phone 7 to Nokia smartphones. Symbian as well as MeeGo will goon to ship on inclination until WP7 is ready to go, but Symbian isn’t long for this universe. So what about MeeGo?

MeeGo is a Linux-based platform which was formed when a teams at the back of a Maemo as well as Moblin Linux projects merged. MeeGo isn’t actually confirmed by Nokia. The Linux Foundation managed the project. But Nokia is a single of the primary backers, and the company had programmed to put MeeGo upon some arriving smartphones. Intel is an additional vital backer, and which association has been pulling MeeGo for netbooks and tablets. In the matter, Intel says a association is “not blinking upon MeeGo,” as well as stays committed to a height.

Now developer Andrew Wafaa says he doesn’t think MeeGo for netbooks as well as notebooks has most of a prospect. Wafaa is the developer obliged for building the netbook user interface for a renowned openSUSE Linux placement. That UI is based upon MeeGo. But right away Wafaa reports which he’s assured the folks at the back of MeeGo have flattering much stopped all work on a netbook handling system, as well as as a outcome he’s starting to stop operative upon a openSUSE MeeGo project, well known as Smeegol.

Wafaa’s justification comes from discussions with developers as well as a look during a plans for MeeGo 1.2 that don’t uncover any brand new facilities, only bugs which need fixing.

OK, so MeeGo may be on the approach out, at slightest according to one man who’s in a flattering good position to know. But I referred to mixed signals in the title, didn’t I?

Well, here’s a funny thing: Fujitsu has only announced that it will begin selling the netbook which runs MeeGo Linux in a little markets. The netbook is the movement of the Fujitsu LifeBook MH330 which will sell for about $382 in Singapore for some unfathomable reason. CNET reports which you can collect up the representation with Windows 7 Starter edition for less than $9 some-more.

So if MeeGo for notebooks is dead, it sounds similar to someone forgot to discuss it Fujitsu.

While MeeGo’s future upon netbooks and Nokia smartphones stays uncertain, it is an open source plan so I’d be surprised if it goes away altogether. The inscription user interface has also shown some promise, nonetheless I’m not wakeful of any major tablets aside from a German WeTab that user MeeGo.
