During a meeting with analysts, Chief Executive of Intel, Paul Otellini, said that his company is looking for other partners to MeeGo after the announcement of the marriage between Nokia and Microsoft. He did not fail to acknowledge the Finnish manufacturer has virtually thrown in the bucket to the operating system developed in collaboration with Intel in favor of Windows Phone 7.
The decision continues Otellini, has not been free since Nokia had received an "incredible" amount of money from Microsoft because it adopts its own operating system on its handsets. Even Google had made a similar offer but then the choice fell to the solution of Redmond. The Intel spokesman has criticized the CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop, for this decision: "I would not have made the choice he made: I probably would have chosen Android in its place," said Otellini.
"Meego would rather have been the best strategy but not Elop could afford it." Otellini believes that it will be hard to get out Nokia Phone using Windows 7 as it would have been easier to do with Android. However, Microsoft has secured a special license to Nokia to customize the operating system, which instead of HTC and others have not.
However, Intel is expected to be able to replace Nokia with a new partner for MeeGo without problems also echoing the statements of some providers such as Orange which would have hoped for a more open mobile ecosystem than the one now created by Nokia and Microsoft.
