Perhaps Nokia N8 will be last release from Nokia’s end which will run Symbian^3. Company has showed sign of this in its previous release, Nokia N900, which runs on Maemo operating system. Actually, Nokia is good with resources in every aspect, but when it goes to high-end cell phones, the company starts lagging behind. Prime reason behind this lag, is its OS. Indeed Nokia has made some good cell phones, but when it comes to application support, it is too much restricted.

But now company has decided to break this limitation. Nokia and Intel have decided to come up with MeeGo. MeeGo is based on Linux platform and is open-source software. It is capable of supporting multiple-hardware and will be formed by merging Intel’s Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo. This will support a wide range of devices including small computers, tablets, netbooks , and smartphones.

MeeGo will support ARM architectures, which are presently used in advanced smartphones & smartbooks and Intel’s Atom processor. It is reported that the first devices would launch in the second half of 2010. The platform will be hosted by the Linux Foundation and both companies expect it to be picked up widely by various device manufacturers, network operators, semiconductor companies, software vendors and developers.

Perhaps MeeGo will stand in a new category of OS and will be capable enough to challenge Android markets. Let’s wait and watch what Nokia shows up next with its new MeeGo plan.
