MeeGo - The Android Killer?

Wow, this will shake the industry: http://www.meego.com

Nokia and Intel joined forces to create a versatile mobile Linux platform. This is pretty good news since Intel and Nokia are both pretty strong open source supporters. The other good facet of it could be that finally Nokia & Intel together will manage to create a system that will be portable and as versatile and complete as Android.

The big drawback of Maemo up until now has been that the open source parts were not enough to make a device from it. Thus nobody except Nokia used Maemo. This may change now. And this can also mean that it will take some marketshare from Android because up until now Android is the only complete portable platform to easily create production ready devices. MeeGo could change this and be much more Linux-style - Android does many things "differently".
