Huawei and Panasonic to join MeeGo
MeeGoExperts is reporting that handset makers Huawei and Panasonic are also going to join LG on the MeeGo project.
This will be official if nominations to MeeGo Handset Group are approved.
I think I’d be giving Nokia too much credit that they’d tactically move away from MeeGo to give space for new manufacturers to have a go.

nokia wasnt brave enough to do it
but they never completely came out of it(they can still go back to meego for some handsets)
i really want meego to be success
and kill all those analysts who said meego is shit and wont even be good enough to compete in the market
Well, this lineup doesn’t inspire confidence. LG in particular has said that they only want to use Meego, maybe, in car info-tainment systems.
Honestly, as of now, Meego is the Duke Nukem Forever of mobile software.

Source, because as far as I can see LG arent even members of the IVI working group, they are however members of the handset group and were nominated for membership at the same time as zte.

Coupled with the fact that LG several years ago demoed phones running Moblin, before Meego existed, with Nokia out it appears LG are back in. I reckon its clear phones are their priority.

Im glad to hear about this
I’ve always been a fan of panasonic
and Huawei seems to be growing rapidly
Maybe we’ll see Nokia using Meego again
Me too. Along with Nokia, Panasonic has been my favourite brand. Hopefully something good comes out of this.
As for Nokia, well, they pretty much dead for me now unfortunately. Just another OEM like HTC. A company with no individual character or soul. Sad…
yes panasonic flat tv’s are great.
only wp7 fails then meego has the chance
if WP7 failed, Nokia is no more.
wp7 failed already
yeah… just like maemo and meego failed. Right? And maybe like Symbian has been gradually failing. You guys really make me laugh.
Finally someone else here says it.
All the praise that MeeGo is getting is irrelevant since it is non-existent. That Maemo got it, I understand. It’s good, but unfortunatly also killed.
elop killed maemo5 and meego for WP7 which is going no where at all
Elop killed MeeGo, Maemo was already killed under OPK to be joined into that deathpool called MeeGo.
Nokia should have just developed Maemo as the next Symbian.
Ah well, what if… what if…
Nokia doesn’t own Meego and can’t kill it as well.
AMEN RANT!
omg i totally agree with you there. The management before Elop killed Maemo. When the n900 came out, everyone thought Maemo would be the “next-gen” OS after Symbian. Turns out it was a stepping stone before Meego. Fast forward to today, what’s MeeGo? how could people have faith on MeeGo when no one know what the final product is going to be like?
Nokia dropped the ball with Maemo, they sat on their asses and relied on ordinary users to keep coming back. Their marketshare was slipping before Elop came onboard and some flks here just still don’t get it.
what? elop killed maemo5? It is obvious you have no clue about what you are saying. You just want to follow the crowd. Maemo was killed with the intention to join with Intel’s Moblin to form Meego long before Elop even came to office. Dude, if you want to trash talk do some research first. Damn, the level to which some of you are really ignorant is breath-taking.
Nokia’s recent approach is a part of its strategy. Nokia thought that a bigger push is needed to make MeeGo a hit. I never believed that nokia would throw away its pet project so easily, atleast not after investing millions. Nokia alone could not penetrate the markets properly. But now with big players like Panasonic, Lg, Huawei, MeeGo can target different markets other than US ( japan, China, Korea, India and other Asian countries, stronghold of Panasonic, Lg, Huawei etc). Hope MeeGo do well.
If they make a decently-spec’d MeeGo-friendly device (N950?), doesn’t matter who develops the OS. Well, almost.
It’s a little disheartening, though, that Intel is jumping on the Android bandwagon:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/20/otellini_on_tablets_andsmartphones/
Intel have always been on the Android bandwagon, its not news, they have been saying they will support Android for years now. This isnt news, the only news here is they have Android 3.0 code, up until now they only support pre 3.0.
Its not suprising intel support Android, they clearly dont want to put all their bags in one basket, while Meego is what I imagine they would favour to succeed, having a back up plan, or an alternative for manufacturers who just want Android makes sense.
I love panasonic laptops and I’d love if they made cellphones for markets outside of Japan.
back then, japanese phones were way more advanced than the phones Nokia keep touting about. Too bad they didn’t have global phone.
I bet we would see Meego with Windows OS and iOS in the future.
Lg is not going to make any meego phone lately. They only gonna make an os for car infotainment system. Have you checked the updated engadget post?

Jay, I’d like to believe your sentiments are true but knowing Nokia, I like you have my doubts in that being their true intention in ditching meego….to help it grow and reach its true potential and to gather the support that it deserves?! I wish its true and Nokia go back to it….or else they will be left behind….again!!!
Actually it’s good news for MeeGo that Nokia drop it out. Because it’s very well known that currently people in lead never make right decisions. =)
Elop has also say that WP is also just transition phase OS and that Nokia still is looking for new OS that is not MS ecosystem based. Anyway that was quote from some news I read.
Well Anything can happen. Anyway best way to support Nokia and new OS. Is to get N950 or what ever the name will be for that phone.
nice to hear!
I’m so excited about this damn can’t wait.
Its evident that MeeGo is promising indeed. And the fact that vendors like LG and Panasonic have decided to tap into it makes it all the more worthwhile to consider it as a very viable (and available) Android alternative. Nokia’s Maemo strategy was somewhat unclear, and so is their future MeeGo strategy. However, the other manufacturers implementing MeeGo would ensure more market penetration. Certainly something worth looking out for.
Cool!!!!!!
Big slash to Nokia and its CEO and Nokia’s so called partner(master indeed)
But Nokia is grasping QML.
