MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system which is designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as mobile phones, net books, tablets, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment system.
It was first announced at Mobile world Congress in Feb 2010 by Intel and Nokia in joint press conference.
The stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project. i.e. ¡°MeeGo¡±
9. INTRODUCTIONMeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system which is designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as mobile phones, net books, tablets, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment system.
10. It was first announced at Mobile world Congress in Feb 2010 by Intel and Nokia in joint press conference.
11. The stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project. i.e. ¡°MeeGo¡±5/1/2011MeeGo3
12. Continued..Maemo is a software platform developed by Nokia for Smartphones and internet tablets which is based on Debian Linux distribution.
13. Moblin(Mobile Linux) is Intel¡¯s open source mobile operating system and application stack for Mobile internet devices(MIDs),netbooks etc.5/1/2011MeeGo4
17. API viewLayer view: It shows the separation of different layers and user experience (UX) verticals. The Layer view consists of three layers: User Experience, Application API, and Core OS layers.UX provides the Application Framework for each device profile. 5/1/2011MeeGo6
19. Core OS layer contains all the middleware/OS service domains and the hardware adaptation servicesDomain view:This can be viewed in several domains and subsystems under each domain as follows5/1/2011MeeGo7
31. Continued¡API view:This view illustrates the contents of MeeGo API.The MeeGo API includes the development libraries to use when creating applications for MeeGo-based platforms. It¡¯s based on Qt and Qt Mobility.Qt is fully object-oriented, easily extensible, and allows true component programming which provides application developers with the functionality to build applications.
33. Continued¡Hardware adaptation software:There are multiple software components that a hardware vendor must provide for MeeGo to run successfully on their platform architecture. The hardware adaption s/w is divided into the following subsystems:-Security -Sensor-Device Mode -Audio-Camera -Imaging and Video-Location -Connectivity-Input -Display and Graphics5/1/2011MeeGo10
34. WHAT MAKES MEEGO UNIQUE?Broad industry support and adoption in all categories Great User experience Great OS Multi-category Multi-HWActive communityOpen governance modelClose relationship with upstream projectsA partnership project 5/1/2011MeeGo11
35. Nokia¡¯s First MeeGo Smartphone is Nokia N950. Features:12 megapixels autofocus camera.
44. Difference b/w MeeGo and AndroidMeeGo and Android both are open sourced Linux based smart phone operating system whereas MeeGo is a coordinated effort by the Linux community but Android not.
45. Android project is currently carried out by Google and MeeGo is carried out by Intel and Nokia as a joint venture.
46. Android¡¯s Java based applications are easy to build for beginners, Maemo & MeeGo¡¯s development environments allow for much richer applications.5/1/2011MeeGo13
47. BENEFITSBenefits to Open Source Developers:-Any one can build an applicationBenefits to Application Developers: -MeeGo significantly expands the market opportunitiesBenefits to Device Manufacturers: -MeeGo enables device manufacturers to participate in the evolution of the software platform and build their own assets.5/1/2011MeeGo14
48. Continued..Benefits to Operators: -MeeGo enables differentiation through user interface customization.Benefits to the Linux Platform:-MeeGo is helpful for Linux as a platform as it combines mobile development resources that were recently split in the Maemo and Moblin projects into one well-supported project.5/1/2011MeeGo15
49. CONCLUSIONThis phone will be something everyone wants to own. It will try to satisfy all needs into one plate. MeeGo phone will be capacitive, more stylish and more beautiful with simpler UI that average users will find as equally compelling as tech leaders. It has potential to be something deeper than typical Smartphone.
