The two giants Nokia and Intel today announced a partnership and soon are going to release the “MeeGo”.

Intel and Nokia both are going to merge their brains and are came with MeeGo. Intel’s Mobiln and Nokia’s Maemo are combined together to create a “software platform that will support multiple hardware architectures across the broadest range of device segments, including pocket mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems.”

This platform will be used to power smartphones of tomorrow and will also be powerful enough to be used on Netbooks. Like the parent Operating Systems, MeeGo too will be open source and obviously, Linux based. MeeGo will support ARM architecture and Intel’s own Atom processors. MeeGo is an advanced OS that would be comfortable in various avatars. It can be full fledged desktop OS – if needed, can be scaled down to be an advanced Smartphone OS and can also be used on Tablets.

The two companies are merging their odd, half-cooked, Linux-based OS’s into one crazy little package called “MeeGo”. This is going to be a wonderful product coming out from the two smarties.

According to the official press release, the new platform will begin later this year.
