Intel to show off Atom-based MeeGo smartphone

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 14 Feb 2011 12:22 User comments (5)

MeetMeeGo tweeted a teaser picture today, revealing that Intel will show off an Atom-based MeeGo smartphone tomorrow at the Mobile World Congress.

The unknown device will be unveiled alongside a MeeGo tablet, although both are still mostly unknown.

Intel's Atom is its new Medfield processor, which will be smaller and cooler than the current-gen Oak Trail platform.

Medfield is expected to be the first processor that can be used in a smartphone and meet expectations for good battery life.

There is even less info known about the tablet.

We will keep you updated.

Even nokia won't use this, so why does intel think it should still be pushed?

I was thinking the same thing...if I am buying a device with an atom processor, then I want a real Linux distro, not a "mobile" one like MeeGo or Android...and if I actually did have to settle for one of those, I would go with the one that has apps.

Have you thought the possibility that Nokia didn't used Meego because they didn't have resources to develop a product with it? After all, Meego is partly intels product also so they might have some know how also how to make it better...

Android is open, but not secure. Too many back doors required to support the Google business model. It is primarily targeted at StrongARM processors. It is heavily Java-based. It has the worst reliability and performance on the market. And I have a Droid X, so it does not get much better than that.

MeeGo is open, based on x86, developed in C++, uses Qt Mobile UI. it is an ideal platform for building secure, fast, and open applications. I hope it lives on. If it does, there are thousands of Qt/Linux apps ready to drop in until the Qt Mobile apps reach critical mass.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
