Intel is one of the forces behind the open source MeeGo software platform. Rumors has it that the company are going to leave the Linux based mobile OS project
Esato News
The usually well informed site DigiTimes today reported that Intel plans to temporarily discontinue development of its MeeGo OS. We know that Nokia, one of the other initiative partners, will focus on Windows Phones from now on. The reason behind Intels decision is the lack of other handset and tablet makers. Intel will focus on hardware production for Android or Windows Phone. MeeGo was first announced in 2010 at the Mobile World Congress and still has a group of supporters such as Acer, Asus, Gameloft, AMD, Cisco, Fujitsu. The list of new companies supporting MeeGo has not been updated since February which could be an indication of falling interest for the project. Too sad really. We earlier had the chance to take a look at the Nokia N9, and we really liked both the Nokia hardware and the MeeGo operating system. source |

I really feel for Intel. Nokia was the big fish among all those affiliates and losing them simply means losing practically the whole market. But, such is business- things sometimes don't workout.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Although im a huge fan of Android i realy liked Maemo5 in the N900 and MeeGo in the N9 looks amazing so i was sad to read this.
LUCKILY it was all speculation, Intel have come out and announced that they remain committed to Meego: http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]ling-the-plug-on-MeeGo_id21797  PHEW!
