MeeGo commence à prendre du relief. Ce nouvel OS mobile a été présenté lors du dernier Mobile World Congress. Il s’agit en fait de la première concrétisation de l’accord passé entre Intel et Nokia en juin 2009. MeeGo est donc une plate-forme issue de la fusion de Moblin d’Intel, une distribution Linux basée sur Fedora et conçue pour les terminaux mobiles de petite taille, et de Maemo, le système d’exploitation dérivé de Linux conçu par Nokia qui équipe le N900.

Ce système sera “ouvert” à tous les fabricants et développeurs, et donc gratuit. Surtout, il pourra être utilisé dans toute une gamme d’appareils: smartphones haut de gamme, mini-PC, tablettes, télévisions connectées à internet, ou encore systèmes embarqués dans les véhicules.

In a presentation at the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif., the 11-year-old search behemoth unveiled Nexus One, a stylish touchscreen smartphone that runs on the company’s Android operating system, is sold through a Google-operated retail Web site, and greets the market with an advertising tagline (“Web meets phone”) as simple and optimistic as the one Apple used in 2007 to introduce its iPhone (“The Internet in your pocket”).

Smartphones et ordinateurs sont assujettis à cette redevance mais les trois fabricants ont “oublié” de sortir le chéquier. Ils écopent d’une amende : 450 000 euros pour Packard Bell et 2 millions pour Nokia.
