MeeGo: Nokia and Intel together forms “MeeGo”

meegologoThe two big companies Nokia and Intel today announced a partnership and soon are going to deliver the “MeeGo”. What is MeeGo?

Intel and Nokia both are going to merge their odds and are going to come out with MeeGo. Intel’s Mobiln and Nokia’s Maemo are combined together to create a “software platform that will support multiple hardware architectures across the broadest range of device segments, including pocket able mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems.”

The two companies are merging their odd, half-finished, Linux-based OS’s into one crazy little package called “MeeGo”. This is going to be a wonderful product coming out from the two smart yet technical Brands.

According to the company’s press release, the new platform will begin later this year.
