Intel to soldier on with MeeGo

Nokia might be done with MeeGo, but the partners that it worked with to create the operating system are far from over. While most would believe that it’s the end of the road for the MeeGo operating system without Nokia’s support, companies like Intel beg to differ. It has been reported that Intel will be continuing to support the project, just that instead of working with Nokia on the platform, it will have to find other partners to do it with.

Intel will be ensuring that MeeGo v1.3 will support smart TVs, car infotainment and multimedia handsets, in addition to the netbooks and tablet PCs by Q4 this year. They will also be launching MeeGo v1.4 in Q2 of 2012. The company has also been reported to be showing off a new Atom processor in Q1 next year that is capable of running Google’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich. By Q3 2012, it will be powering Microsoft Windows 8 as well.

It looks like the future is bright for MeeGo – for those of you, who are worried about investing in the operating system, fret not. It sure looks like it is in capable hands.
