New Software for Nokia and Intel

Nokia and Intel say they are combining the software they have each been developing for smart phones, tablet computers and other Internet connected devices.

The world's largest maker of phones and the world's largest maker of computer chips believe that together they have a better chance of competing in a crowded field of software systems that each hope to be as ubiquitous in mobile devices as Windows is on PCs.

They say the new software, MeeGo, which will be released later this year, will supersede Nokia's Maemo, used in a few high-end phones, and Intel's Moblin, which it has been developing with an aim to get its own chips into phones and somewhat larger, tablet-like ‘mobile internet devices’.
