Intel Doesn't Want to MeeGo It Alone
Intel says it’s “not blinking” on MeeGo, following Nokia’s decision to refocus its mobile efforts on Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform, and, indeed, CEO Paul Otellini told analysts this morning that the company is seeking out new allies for the OS. “We will find another partner,” he said. “The carriers still want a third ecosystem and the carriers want an open ecosystem, and that’s the thing that drives our motivation.” Given the further entrenchment of the iPhone and Android operating systems, the debut of Windows Phone 7 and the slowly renewing momentum behind webOS, a new Meego partner may prove difficult to find.
