Nokia have decided to take WP7 and dump meego.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/...ore-symbian-and-meego-details-android-explor/
Elop clarified that MeeGo will ship this year but "not as part of another broad smarpthone platform strategy, but as an opportunity to learn." Something that sounds very similar to position Nokia took with its so-called "experimental" Maemo-based N900 last year. After the first (and apparently, only) MeeGo device ships this year, the MeeGo team will then "change their focus into an exploration of future platforms, future devices, future user experiences." Trying to determine the "next disruption" in smartphones.

Apparently, they will still release one phone with Meego, but what's the point? It won't have nearly enough big community to compete with other systems.
Although i would love to see my HD2 running Meego, I'm thinking that porting this may be a waste of time.
I didn't see what the big fascination with MeeGo was anyway?
They can't just build an OS then drop it like that.
either way, I still want MeeGo on my HD2 .
Ummmm...
Nokia was only one of the two major backers of MeeGo, and the project is controlled by the Linux Foundation. MeeGo definitely isn't canceled, and if 1.2 ends up looking good it's quite likely it will get picked up by others. Too many companies want an alternative to Google without being caught in the Microsoft dead-end.
Pocketnow.com is reporting some interesting info regarding MeeGo and HTC http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/intels-meego-smartphone-prototype-teases-a-new-htc-partnership. Remains to be seen what this means.
Linux Foundation as mentioned by superhyper and intel are still backing up MeeGo.
MeeGo is the most open OS for Mobile devices and development on it should never be stopped no matter what those corporations think or do !.
So what if NoKia is in't supporting MeeGo, we still have Intel supporting it & with its open sourceness I am sure HTC will think of it some way & that day it'll definately be BiG..!!!
I would love to have MeeGo on my HD2
Infact i wolud love to have MeeGo, Ubuntu, Android, WP7 and WinMo6.5 , all of these together, on my HD2
more wood for the fire ......

From what I've seen the UI doesn't really seem all that novel or impressive?
hmm was kinda looking forward to this, tried wp7 and android.
Yeah, Intel is still supporting Meego. But Intel sells x86 processors, so i guess they will focus mainly on x86 version, while HD2 is ARM.
Doesnt matter that nokia is dropping it as nokia isnt that big of player in the smart phone scene as it was and is supassed now. Nokia is trying to rebrand itself leaving room for other players on the field. Having a company like HTC on field i know who ill support. Especially after buying are N97.
Intel dual core in a HTC phone runnong a packed linux OS send it on

You would be surprised how big of a player Nokia really is.
Sure, Americans and Britons don't see it, but you should look around mainland Europe.

Sure their still the largest manufacturer of mobile phones but when it comes to smart phones theyve slept on it. Think even LG is the 3rd and its an infint on the mobile market. Even the hardiest Nokia fan can be whooed away. On that key first dual core phone goes to LG. Nokia will still do well as they have alot of the technology that made the phone smart.

uhm, maybe the fact that it is a proper linux distribution made to work on a phone, and not a castrated os made to sell your personal data and soul to google like android is?

good post!
Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year
No one is canceling MeeGo.
Nokia rumors are saying the are going to be bought by Microsoft.... but those are rumors!!!
Possibly good news on the horizon... Nokia announces another chief for Meego

Search/Read/Follow the main thread at talk.maemo.org...
It's been explained countless times why there probably won't ever by a fully polished/supported version that one can buy:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90761&page=174
That thread used to be for the N9 & "other" devices, but it's recently become mostly for the N9.
This is the new thread focused mostly around Android devices (& there's threads @xda-dev ofc):
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92506&page=4
As it stands now the community version has hit a bit of a roadblock...
There may eventually be work-arounds, but it'll always be some steps behind Sailfish for Android & Sailfish devices.*
LT Nemo may be a better option for the N9, OR it may always remain quite "hack-ish" compared to Sailfish, time will tell.
*& even Sailfish for those devices is quite "beta-ish", esp. Android devices
Yesterday WP 8.1 developer preview comes out. And Microsoft started the Website for OEMs .
Joe Belfiore say now existing Android Phones can run WP. What about the note 2?

First you need drivers for the Note 2 hardware.
Then you need to compile WP8.1 for our Exynos SoC.
Then you need to write a bootloader to tell the device how to start the OS.
T'ain't that simple, fella.
sticky back plastic?
Can someone port the copperhead os to moto g4 plus.. which is the most secure android ever used by google itself... in their pixel series of phones.. :highfive:
stkpxl said:
As much as I would love to see it ported, the G4 doesn't support it. These are the types of phones that are supported currently: Devices directly supported by the Android Open Source Project are candidates, meaning the Nexus and Pixel lines. Only devices with a 64-bit CPU architecture, full verified boot and LPDDR4 memory with TRR will be considered. Devices also need guaranteed security updates from the hardware vendor for device-specific components like firmware.
Pretty sure that leaves us out.

on their website they mentioned as.. it's an open source project. it should have been developed for 32 bit.. bcoz more than 90℅ devices are 32bit based system... but why they are not developing for other Android.. even though other android phones are the majority..
No one has been trying to launch Android on the phones of Microsoft?
Microsoft does not support its phones again, and we need to run Android on our phones.
Is not it really possible?
my phone is Microsoft Lumia 640xl 3g
