Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin operating systems have been merged to create MeeGo. MeeGo is a Linux-based free mobile operating system project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers, mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes, smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is currently hosted by the Linux Foundation.

History

It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February 2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference. The stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project. According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom processor.

Things u should know about MeeGo

Ø MeeGo is a Linux-based software platform that has been created from Intel's Moblin platform and Nokia's Maemo platform. MeeGo isn't just a direct competitor for the likes of the iPhone, Android OS-powered devices, Windows Phone 7 Series, Palm's webOS and RIM's BlackBerry platform. It's aimed at a much broader range of applications. The Linux-based MeeGo platform is intended to power multiple types of devices including smartphones, netbooks, tablets, connected TVs, mobile computers and in-car entertainment systems.

Ø MeeGo isn't going to replace Symbian as Nokia's smartphone platform of choice. Nokia's executive vice president of devices, Kai Oistamo, said at the MeeGo launch that the two operating systems would continue to co-exist. MeeGo will offer a range of rich online and computing experiences with rich graphics, multitasking and multimedia capabilities.

Nokia's Maemo platform was recently given an airing on the Nokia N900 smartphone.

Ø The MeeGo platform will be developed as an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation. MeeGo should be attractive to application developers as it uses the Qt application development environment, which enables developers to write applications just once and easily deploy them across variety of platforms and devices.

Ø MeeGo applications for Nokia devices will be sold through the Ovi Store for Nokia, while Intel's AppUp Center will handle applications for Intel-based MeeGo devices.

Core OS

The MeeGo Core operating system is a Linux distribution, drawing on Nokia’s Debian-based Maemo and Intel’s Fedora-based Moblin.MeeGo is one of the first Linux distributions to use the Btrfs file system as default, and uses RPM repositories.

Nokia N9 Smart Phone with MeeGo OS

Jolla develops and sells smartphones based on the MeeGo platform. It continues the work started by Nokia and produced the Nokia N9 but needed a new company after Nokia has decided to abandon MeeGo. The Jolla team was formed by directors and core professionals leaving Nokia's MeeGo N9 organisation, together with some of the best minds working on MeeGo in the communities. Jolla intends to announce its first smartphone product during 2012.
