Nokia and Intel announce Meego

Hot from the Nokia press conference, Nokia and Intel have just announced the fusion of Maemo and Moblin. Both platforms have not really been popular and although it is understandable that merging the resources is a good thing, it’s hard to believe that the new Meego OS will get much more traction. In a rational way, it’s hard to argue that it is not “better”, but it is clearly an uphill battle for both companies because the fusion won’t do much more than combining the market share of Maemo and Moblin, which are both fairly small. Anyway, we’re not really excited by this, but we will keep an open mind…
