INTRODUCTION
MeeGo is a Linux-based platform t hat is capable of r unni ng on multiple computi ng devices, includi ng handsets , net books, tabl et s, connect ed TVs and in-vehi cle in fo ta inmen t sys tems . The p rima ry goa l of the me rge r o f the Maemo and Mob lin projects was to unif y t he efforts of the Mob lin and Maemo communities and to enabl e a next gener a on open sour ce Li nux pl atf or m suit ed f or a vari et y of cli ent ti devi ces. Most i mport antl y, MeeGo will be doi ng so while: 1. Maintaining fr eedom on fo r innova tion 2 . Con tinu ing the trad iti o f commun ity invo lvemen t (inhe rited e a ng time -to -ma rke t fo r a new se t o f from Maemo and Mob lin ) 3 . Acce l r ti appli ca ons ser vi ces and user experi ences Wit h t he mer ger, t he MeeGo pr oj ect ti , has now t he opportunit y t o si gnificantly expand the market opport unities on a wide ec u es range o dev ices and suppo rt mu ltip le ch ip a rch it t r (ARM and x86 ) from the f get go. MeeGo also pr ovide a rich cross- pl atform development environment so appli cati ons can span multiple platforms and will unify developers provi di ng a wealt h o app ca ons and ser vi ces Such oppo uniti es f or i nst ances wer e out of f li ti . rt reach fo r Maemo and Mob lin ind iv idua lly . Fu rthe rmo re , MeeGo is comm itted to wor k i n t he upstream pr oj ect s so t hat everyone using those upstream pr oject s can benefit from MeeGo s con bu ons o ups eam p o ec s tri ti t tr r j t.

With this in mind it has been demonstrated by Intel the power of MeeGo and how any device running the OS can connect to each o the r. For example your e playing a movie on your phone and want to wa tch it on your TV, the t wo devices connect together via a cl oud network and your movi e will play on your TV and phone. Its extremely versatile . As the OS is open source t her e has a huge communit y foll owi ng whi ch means anyone thattwan s t o get involved with the p ro jec t can and shou ld . One of t he mai n tr j pt o ec s ha ticon nues t o gr ow ever yday i s t he N900 adapt ati on t eam. These guys t are r esponsible f or getting MeeGo to r un on t he Noki a N900, curr entl y t he on y l commercial mobil e phone that will run MeeGo , but lets just say we wou ldn't use it as our pri mary OS just yet as it is still in ea rly stages of development. MeeGo Includes: Performance optimi zations and feat ur es which enable rich computational and graphicall y orient ed applicati ons and connected ser vi ces devel opment.

MAEMO AND MOBLIN BACKGROUND

Maemo Background The Maemo project, in itia lly c reated by Nokia (htt p://www.maemo .o rg ), pr ovi ded a Linux- based software stack that runs on mobil e devices. The Maemo pl atf or m i s built in large pa rts oopen sou ce componen s t and f r s SDK p r ides an open ov it development environment fo r app lications on top of the Maemo pl atf or m. A seri es of Nokia Int e rnet Tablets wit h touch sc reen have been bu ilt w ith the Maemo platf or m. The l at est Maemo dev ce was t he Nok a N900 powe ed by Maemo 5 i i , r , ha t n tr gned fi r-t nge ouch U I, ce ll l r phone f eat u e ua t i oduced a comp e e y r l t l edes i r , and live mu lticasting on the Maemo dashboa rd .

Moblin Background The Moblin project, sho rt for Mobile Linux, is I ntels open source initi ati ve h tt :// n. g wa r f ( p www mob li o r ) c ea ed o deve op so ft e o r sma rtphones, ne books . r t t l t , mobile internet devices (M IDs ), and in-vehi cle in fo ta inmen t (IVI) syst ems, and other mobile devi ces. It is an optimized Linux-based p latfo rm fo r small computi ng devices. It runs on In te l A tom, an inexpens ive chip w ith low powe r r equir emen .s t A unique char ac te ris tic to devices running Moblin is that they can boot up qui ckl y and can be online within a few seconds.

Benefits to the L inux Platform In addition, MeeGo is helpful for L inux as a p la tfo rm as it combines mobile development resou rces that were recen tly sp lit in the Maemo and Moblin projects into one well-suppo rted, we ll-des igned p ro ject t hat addresses cross-platform, cross- devi ce and cross- ar chitecture development. One majo r benefit from the MeeGo project is tha t a ll othe r Linux mob ile and desk top efforts that use the components as MeeGo will benefit from the increased eng inee ring e ffo rts on those components. This is the power of the open source development model.

Gr eat OS Noki a and I nt el today make most of the c lien t L inux development invesmen t. Join t talent pool of 1000+ best Linux platform developers in the planet Multi-ca tego ry Handse t, Tab le t, Automotive, TV, Netbook, Multi-HW ARM , Intel, multi-vendor Multi-la te ra l Not a monopoly business p la tfo rm but a partne rsh ip for techni cal de-facto st andard MeeGo phone will push the boundaries of processing powe r. It will be a ve ry high end product. Th is is an oppo rtunity to create something we ll beyond what others are doi ng. This phone will be some th ing everyone wan ts to own. It w ill try to satisfy all needs into one p la te . MeeGo phone w ill be capac itive, mor e st yli sh and more beautiful with simpler UI that average use rs w ill find as equa lly compelling as tech leaders. It has po ten tia l to be something deeper than typi cal Smartphone. All future flagships will be bu ilt on MeeGo . The phone w ill be on Nse ries (not rumor ed S series).
