A lot of people like to dismiss and poke fun at MeeGo, but developers don’t seem put off by Intel’s OS offering. While Nokia’s betrayal was certainly a kick in the teeth for the chip maker, developers seem to be showing more than a passing interest in the software, showing up to developer sessions in droves.

Nokia Corp.’s announcement it would be dropping MeeGo and going Windows Phone 7 caused quite a “kerfuffle” inside Intel Corp., admitted Peter Biddle, general manager of Intel’s AppUp products and services.

BARCELONA, Spain – Stephen Elop delivered what can only be described as a cheese-fest during his appearances during MWC at the Barcelona Fira this week. Laying it on thick, the Microsoft Corp. transfer refused to talk about the new MicroKia partnership, instead opting for the same old spiel about how Nokia Corp. was saving the world.

Obviously, Window Phone 7 featured heavily, however more interesting were the plans for Nokia’s own platforms.

While the Internet is rife with rumor surrounding what embattled Nokia Corp. plans to do next, cross platform app store GetJar has thrown its hat in the ring with the opinion Nokia should go Android and not Windows Phone 7.

Nokia Corp.’s still-fairly-new CEO, Stephen Elop, yesterday sent an internal memo to Nokia staff laying out his views on the company’s current market position. To say it probably didn’t make easy reading for Nokia employees could be something of an understatement.

Digital security firm McAfee says the number of malicious software attacks rose by 46% last year and that hackers have started zoning in on mobile phones – specifically the popular Android and iOS platforms.
