Acer, Asus Fujitsu, Orange contend MeeGo

The rallying of Nokia Phone for Windows was seen by many as an abandonment of MeeGo, the Open Source system pushed so far by the Nokia-Intel alliance. Intel has done everything at MWC to counter that impression. The world leader has unveiled plans including several partners, including Acer, Asus, Fujitsu, Toshiba, for equipment or services for Orange.

Acer promises to launch mobile devices based on MeeGo third quarter 2011. Asus speaks on his side of the netbook MeeGo second quarter of 2011. Toshiba is more vague and just announced his support. But the most advanced is unquestionably Fujitsu has officially launched a netbook MeeGo, the LifeBook MH330.

Using an Atom processor, this netbook will only be sold only in Asia Pacific that can be interpreted as a sign of relative confidence that Fujitsu has in the OS. From the operators, major companies including China Telecom, Sprint, or more recently, Orange, reaffirmed their unequivocal support MeeGo.

Orange had joined the platform in March 2010. According to information from our colleagues Clubic, Intel expects to see Orange MeeGo market the first products in the second quarter. Hopefully they are somewhat more attractive than Tabbee.
