Intel and Nokia’s Meego operating system is not looking too shabby at all, at least not on a recent Intel YouTube video showing off the OS on an unspecified tablet.
When Meego was launched back at MWC in February as a partnership between Intel and Nokia and managed by The Linux Foundation, many saw it as a bad joke, an Albatross around Nokia’s already Symbian burdened neck. But low and behold, the albatross appears to be preparing for flight, with several firms purported to be mulling Meego for tablets and netbooks over the coming months.
Intel is now proudly showing off video of a pre-Alpha version of the OS, which comes complete with multitouch support, multitasking and integrated social networking – as one would expect from a tablet these days.
The five finger multi-touch also comes in mighty useful for tablet photo editing and manipulation, as well as multiplayer gaming.
“From the Atom Developer Program side I can tell you we are excited about MeeGo,” gushed Intel blog author, Bob Duffy.
“Currently we have folks working with the MeeGo team on developing SDK for AppUp and we are keenly interested in making sure our site and community gets the information & tools needed to develop & port apps to MeeGo,” he added.
Check out the video and let us know whether you are liking the look of MeeGo, or if you think it should just (Mee) Go away.
