Can you sense the Nokia's MeeGo phone running Moorestown.]]>Feb 15th 2010 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/Feb 15th 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/

Yep; a day late and a dollar short. These two behemoths only agreed to work together after it became apparent that neither product was going to compete against the likes of android, iphone, or RIM. This is a half-baked partnership since it will take years to merge the codebase ( Meemo being Debian based, Moblin being rpm based ). There are also some significant ideology in the two platforms to overcome.

Maybe if Nokia had gotten off their high horse 2 or 3 years ago when the community saw the competition coming they might have had a chance. Now Maemo is doomed to slow obsolescence at the hands of much wider adopted solutions.]]>Feb 15th 2010 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/That would be nice. That could mean less hacking to get ancient OSes hacked into the phone AND they might work like they did 10 years ago.
Seriously now, Intel has the potential to screw ARM big-time - they'd lure in all kinds of people who don't understand much about the inner workings of their products (also known as "suckers") to buy a phone because it has an Intel processor]]>Feb 15th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/
Yeah, it'll never work. I mean what have Intel and Nokia ever achieved? Aside from complete dominance in CPU and mobile phone manufacture I mean?]]>Feb 15th 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/I can merge all the mobile OS, look:

Android + MeeGo + WebOS + Bada= DroidMe-BadWeb?

Landscape mode most of the time for n900? otherwise i agree, it's a great device.
has moblin moved over beta status? i'd call that halfbaked (in all exept google's beta label)

But toghether, yes, they might make it work, i hope they do.]]>Feb 16th 2010 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/

There's nothing inherently wrong with Maemo, in fact I think it's an awesome platform for tinkerers such as myself, but it's certainly lacking a bit of smoothing and polishing that makes using said iPhone such a blast - it's in the details rather than the major design philosophy.

I'd love to have a smartbook that runs Meebo in about a year, dirt cheap, simple ARM processor, but still good enough at the things I need it to do.

Hell, isn't this a nice OS to start putting on (convertible) tablets? I could see this OS being a good, more advanced competitor for the iPad. We all know Nokia can make powerful hardware and with Intel backing their OS side, I'd love a Nokia nPad with a proper multitasking OS, two USB ports, and, going crazy, better flash support than even the N900.]]>Feb 15th 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/Feb 15th 2010 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/Feb 15th 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/
Nokia said in the press conference that apps you develop for Meego will also run on Symbian S60 and Symbian^3 because of the same UI foundation layer (QT). They just need to be recompiled.

Why? You can just install Meego on it. Hell everything runs on the N900 even Android:

Poor choice of wording on my part.

I am a little worried that Nokia will dump any and all support for the N900 due to this. There was already questions on whether Maemo6 would be fully compatible with the N900. ]]>Feb 15th 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/
Ya im returning mine to amazon this week. i just bought is last week. hell ya. im soo glad i waited. till now. if i would have bought my n900 on black friday i would have been S.O.L, ]]>Feb 15th 2010 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/
I completely take that statement back. i have never deserved to be down-ranked more in my life. It was late here in California (i was semi-conscience). I'm sorry :'(. My mind was blown by this MONSTROUS turn of events. Couldn't help it.

My concern was that the N900 would not be compatible with maemo 6(meego V1). but a new N900 firmware update appeared tonight(3.2010.02.-8.9002) Gives the the proof that i needed. there are Qt and Maemo 6 demo applications for download now. i downloaded (Maemo 6 widgets gallery) and i was amazed. its really goin to rock our socks off. So yes i personally confirm that Maemo 6 will run on N900.

Meego = Maemo UI, moblin core OS. me+this announcement = nerdgazum ^_^]]>Feb 16th 2010 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/Feb 15th 2010 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/meego-nokia-and-intel-merge-maemo-and-moblin/

Maemo is not "odd", it's really a great OS.
