AMD today announced it has joined The Linux Foundation’s MeeGo open source Linux project, and will provide engineering expertise intended to help establish the technical foundations for next-generation mobile platforms and embedded devices.
The MeeGo Linux-based open-source operating system is primarily designed for mobile hardware platforms such as ultra-mobile notebooks, tablets, embedded in-vehicle infotainment systems and smart phones.
Ben Bar-Haim, corporate vice president, software development, AMD quoted “MeeGo represents an exciting, open-source mobile operating system we expect to be adopted by mobile and embedded device makers over time.We are glad to provide engineering resources to joint industry efforts like MeeGo and expect that this operating system will help drive our embedded plans and create expanded market opportunities for our forthcoming Accelerated Processing Units.”
“Built from the ground up for a whole new class of mobile computing devices, MeeGo gives companies like AMD and its partners unlimited opportunities to accelerate innovation for the next generation of computing,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “As an existing Linux Foundation member, AMD will be an important and valuable contributor to the MeeGo Project.”

after going through above comments, i would like to say that nokia has done the right thing by not manufacturing dual sim dual active mobiles as they cause major health hazzards.. And Nokia will give you such a quality which is very far from local manufacturers and even samsung..

Yes dude but we cannot always think of business.with huge business also comes huge responsibility and you know HEALTH IS WEALTH and some companies think about consumers and their well being and Nokia is one among them and one day due to any pressure or incident or scam the govt eyes may open and make strict enquiry into these issues of health effects and these local manufacturer will be chopped(remember what happened to china mobile for quite some time).

You are right. But who are now concerned with those health issues? I can bet 80-85% of common people don’t bother about health hazard by dual sim phones. Market has dual sim handset demand, this is the fact & everybody including nokia have to accept it.
You know, Tremerin, every thing has some pros & cons. If you concentrate on cons, it’s different issue. But then you have to reject your cellphone first as it’s the very root of various health hazard.

dude using dual sim phones are like keeping yourself in a microwave owen.the radiation and frequency of dual antennas and receivers are extremly harmful.Nokia had insisted on this point and suggested a safer approach than other manufacturers by keeping only 1sim active at a time thus eliminating the danger in their two dual sim handsets.Nokia also cares about peoples safety and their devices are the most ecofriendly in the world for which they have won several awards over the years. And on battery issue the local manufacturers wholly depend on chinese related technology and have worst SAR ratings.They compromise on chip power rating and lower clock frequency to increase battery life which also shortens their product lifetime.

Rightly said. Many people ,be it urban or rural, goes for dual sim handset where Nokia has failed extremely to crack the market. It’s nokia who didn’t followed the market trend & is paying for this now. 1 or 2 year ago there were no competitors of nokia but right now it’s facing stiff competition with samsung & micromax.
The market needed 2 things.
1. Dual sim handset
2. A mobile with long time battery backup.
Nokia failed in this two sectors.

Sorry, Please read as follows.
I still agree with you the the Quality and safety is with NOKIA but what I mean to say is the presently the people are going with trends as I said. I am not finding any fault with NOKIA, but they are not much aggressive like other recent Mobile makers in incorporating new features…etc. Yes, in rural areas it is the leader because they just need easy navigation and voice but time is changing and people in villages are looking for the latest options too. Once the mobile sold in rural, it will be there for few years, its all happend already. They will not buy for next few years unless they lost. This is all not with the younger generations. If you survey the phones bought in rural areas from the last 6 months to 1 year period, most of them are Dual sim but not from Nokia. They have one signal at field and another signal at home too. I am visualising the future in different mode and for that we have to wait and watch. I am not blaming the OS of NOKIA, but expecting the competition in coming days as Mac vs Windows.

@sri
dear sri what you say about mobile not a long term utility it applies in urban areas go to some village or rural areas you still see people using 5-8 years old phones and even new buyers in rural areas buy mobile within range of rs 2000 they dont even know what is os only what they need is function not os .And on Nokias popularity see in most rural areas people only know 1 mobile NOKIA because of their quality and built is best and unbeatable at any given price range which suites indian conditions. Who told you that indian people dont care about life time of mobile just visit your village and make a survey. INDIAN people are very much price sensitive i need not prove to you u can see the situation live in every field with stiff price competition.

We have to wait and see sir, but some how I am not +ve on this. Mobile Monopoly is gone now and lot of competitive companies with lowest pricing strategies…etc and the people used to go with “getting things done for less” whatever the mobile it may be and now a days Mobile is not long term objective to keep with us, as every day new features, news technology developments, new ideas..etc, people used to buy for less price like use and throw manner. The life of mobile became very short now a days, the operators forced us to use dual and trisim phones because of their unreliable network coverage and service and plans . I havent seen much competition Nokia dual mobile phones also (they really failed to come early) and tomorrow Mobile with internet is the king, people doesnt care any if a mobile for less price gives them the feature of internet. This is to be watched very carefully. ( As per my view, if the Nokia sticks to Symbian, it will be a “Mac OS PCs versus Microsoft PCs”)

Yes, mobile hardware platform should be standardised to run any OS of one’s choice. See, how successfull PC manufacturers are in their business, in spite of keeping their hardware platform OS independent!
TREMERIN DSOUZA November 16, 2010 at 4:45 pm
NOKIA WILL FIGHTBACK WITH MEEGO.EVEN IMPROVING SYMBIAN WILL HELP AS IT IS POPULAR AMONG THE WORLD ONLY NEEDS A GOOD MAKEOVER AND IT CAN BEAT ANY O.S.
ARJUN November 16, 2010 at 1:10 pm
That’s Great NOKIA’s SYMBIAN OS WILL FAIL
sri November 16, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Damn Good! Now the war begins between Symbian,Android and Meego. I feel Nokia should have taken up measures to move towards Android and Meego too. Symbian will make NOKIA narrow in future. But I always wants the Mobile devices too should be independent of OS like PCs for easy penetration. The OS must be user choice and interest and we need not buy the different device to get an experience with other OS !
