MeeGo

MeeGo is nokia and Intel announced the launch of a free mobile operating system, Chinese nickname meters dog, the operating system can be in smart phones, laptops and TV and so on many kinds of electronic equipment operation, and help these devices realize seamless integration. This is based on Linux platform called MeeGo, shirt-sleeve nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin platform.

introduction

Nokia's executive vice President, said Kai Oistamo of MeeGo applicable to various power to make its platform lool different, so it is not only a new mobile phone operating system.

. The MeeGo project is delighted to announce: "on the first day of the mobile user experience," the MeeGo project. Many of you may remember this "from March 1, when we first put forward the MeeGo core operating system source code, and began to MeeGo 1.0 version of development" concept. Now, the handset benchmark the source code is provided to develop community, this code is actively developing MeeGo 1.1, this is launched in October. The team is ready to MeeGo Gitorious all the sources and infrastructure to weekly 1.1 version of the MeeGo development. The MeeGo user interface team also busy creating mobile phone reference the user experience, and write the MeeGo user interface design principles and interactive criteria. This marks a milestone for Moblin and Maemo operation in the main structure and technology already determined the merger is choice. Today, we also open MeeGo infrastructure construction.

MeeGo project includes:

MeeGo propaganda video, combined with Qt MeeGo touch uis framework (with the) phones MTF user interface and Application subset reference the status bar: the clock, network, bluetooth, 3G connection, notice, and the main Screen battery Home representation Launcher Lock Screen Lock representation apply Application starter insgroupsto the rid_device_info_keyboard Virtual Keyboard Application: dialer, SMS, browser, contact and picture viewer MeeGo core operating system (including middleware) Intel atom hardware based, cell phone (Moore) and based on the ARM, the nokia N900 adapt to support

It sees himself - check out the cool user interface on the first day of screenshots and cell phone video. Or better, try their equipment to download a developer preview images or browse the source code. The first day of the MeeGo phone photo is as a community developers preview, we're in a very early stage and positive development state. Although we don't suggest you major phone install it just yet, we invite all interested development who also see early use to develop equipment

Detailed introduction

MeeGo mean Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo, namely nokia Maemo system and Intel Moblin platform integration, support Linux intelligence operation platform, very suitable for Maemo the operation of the system.

MeeGo operating system intended to make application developers one-time program, then they can be used for smart phones to the Internet from this and all application hardware platform; In the increasingly competitive smartphone field, this competition strategy is increasingly popular. Adobe recently adopted the same strategy, application developers just write a program can be used for desktop and notebook Flash and mobile phone, and many other operating systems.

Intel and nokia's Maemo, previously announced for the application of Moblin computing environment or MeeGo will also be used with a new operating system. Nokia also stressed that MeeGo platform and is not intended to create their own replaced nokia Symbian operating system. Conversely, through the Qt application and UI framework, developers can be used for MeeGo and application and many other platforms including Symbian. Relevant applications will then through Ovi Store selling, the nokia MeeGo and Symbian based on facing all the nokia hardware device, and Intel's AppUp Center will face the Intel equipment based on MeeGo. The two companies will be the new operating system for a challenge apple MeeGo positioning iPhoneApp Store model of open source platform. Although Intel and nokia did not mention apple's iPhone naming the OS, but very clearly directivity MeeGo competition; The two companies said, through the new operating system, consumers will not have to be limited to a manufacturer of a product system.

In addition to MeeGo smartphone beyond, also applied to different equipment types, Moblin already cover from on-board information system, portable media player (PMP) to the personal navigation device (PND), digital set-top box (STB), laptops, etc multiple product line.

AMD Monday (November 15, 2010 in "MeeGo conference" in 2010, has joined Linux foundation announced its "MeeGo open source Linux" project, will provide professional engineering technique, for next-generation mobile platform to provide technical basis and embedded devices. AMD is responsible for software development of enterprise vice President Ben ba Haim (Ben Haim) Bar - said: "MeeGo is a section of exciting open-source mobile operating system, we expect, as time goes on MeeGo will gradually be mobile and embedded equipment manufacturers use."

Ba haim then said: "we are very pleased with the industry for MeeGo provide engineering resources together, we expect this system will promote our embedded plan, create more market opportunities."

Linux foundation's executive director Jim ze Zemlin) forest (Jim said: "for a new generation of mobile computing devices and development, MeeGo will give AMD etc. The company and its partners unlimited business opportunities, thus speeding up the next generation computing innovation. As Linux foundation current members, AMD will become the MeeGo project important and valuable donor."

MeeGo is a section of Linux based open-source mobile operating system, mainly for ultra-mobile notebook, tablet PC, embedded devices and smartphones and other products and development.
