Poor Ninja. No mention of Symbian whatsoever has hurt his feelings. I worry for you after 2016.

MeeGo on more form factors should be good news for those of us that hope that Nokia continues the N9 line of phones. Hopefully some of the Android makers hedges their bets with a few MeeGo devices. This is the only way MeeGo can gain momentum.

AMD Fusion processors are supporting SSE3, and SSE4a

An i3 looks like an overkill for something that is supposed to run on a smartphone.

But who knows, maybe Nokia are aiming at the PC OS market

Yup, but it requires SSSE3, which AMD doesn’t support.

I’m sorry, but if I remember correctly, MeeGo is an OS from Nokia and Intel. It has much deeper roots than Windows Phone so I want to follow what happens here across other manufacturers. It is important to still see interest from other manufacturers for MeeGo. Here it’s quite significant as they see it as something to put on notebooks too, not just netbooks.

Also, thank you for highlighting the “Nokia” in mynokiablog. Also check out the “My” bit.

Our readers are varied. Some love Symbian, Some love MeeGo, Some Love S40, and yes, some also love Windows Phone. Whilst I and the other writers here try to do cater for them all, I don’t want to cut down on news about certain OSes because someone doesn’t like it. There’s a thing on this and many sites on the internet called OPTIONAL CLICKING. You know, if you don’t like a certain story, you don’t have to read it. Other people, as evident in the comments, are still interested in what’s happening in MeeGo (such as further deployment of products by other manufacturers).

I’m sorry this MeeGo story displeases you. But you do have the option not to click on it.

It doesn’t require Atom, just them same command-set, which is found in every Intel processor since Core…

One of the things that is stoping linux becoming more successfull is the lack of some drivers… its well know for example the problem that Broadcom wirelles controllers present in most distro (already fixed more or less) and in the video camp it took worst it you dont own and Intel, Nvidia or AMD/Ati controller… Another thing is the lack of some consumer programs that isn’t available yet under Linux (for example I really need AutoCAD 2007/20XX under Ubuntu, not another just AutoCad) because the first one, of course someone would think, well Linux is free, so why payware are needeed??? or Linux users dont wanna pay for nothing!!! (and the second is wrong)

With Intel behind it,Meego could catch the attention of those Devs… Altough ultimatelly I’m thinking on this idea of Post-PC era, and wondering why is PC diying???… and well my toughs bring to Windows, yes, Windows… Its well know, works right most of the time, and last version is a great OS, but… look under the hood and its the same as Windows 2000, and even like windows 95… it still has the messy Windows Registry (Why MS dont kill it), Still has the same flaws on the Explorer, and well it isn’t take seriously the change to 64 bits computing simply the basic PC architecture got stucked… of course Intel has its part on this mess (and that is why them “allied” with Nokia, their main goald wasn’t bring Meego to the smartphone, their goal was to push the Atom processor line, and by extention the X86 Arch. to the Smartphone market, that is becoming the new PC)
