ever since nokia jumped ship by going to MS win 7 phone, meego has been sort of dying, slowly.
so the wintel duopoly is really withering, eh? about time. coopetition rules.
from the san jose merc news
• Is Intel abandoning MeeGo, its open-source mobile OS? So says a report from Taiwan-based DigiTimes, citing unnamed sources who claim Intel is temporarily suspending support for the struggling operating system and instead will focus on Android- and Windows-based devices. The future of MeeGo, which originated as a joint effort by Nokia and Intel, has been up in the air since Nokia in February announced a huge tie-up with Microsoft’s Windows Phone. (See Quoted: Nokia gets on board with Microsoft — is it the right call?) Since then, Intel has insisted that MeeGo is still a go, but the DigiTimes report today says the chip maker is failing to find interested partners. Intel has told DigiTimes and others that it “remains committed” to Meego.
