First devices w/ MeeGo installed

[automagic68]

When does Nokia/Intel plan to release the first devices pre-installed with MeeGo? Also is there a lineup or timeline of expected devices to be released?

Yeah looks amazing but I think it comes out next year and I am sure there will be another device out before that possibly a Nokia phone.

Yes by device I mean exactlhy that anything that is electronic and runs the MeeGo OS. Seriously some people here try to assune everyone on the forums is uninformed and don't know what the f**k they are talking about. I posted in the MeeGo / Harmattan section which is for the MeeGo OS which is planned to run and ship pre-installed on a wide range of electronic devices.

Calm down. Nobody called you uninformed. He just wanted to understand your question

The first MeeGo device(s?) are expected to ship in H2 this year. I am guessing near Christmas. It is not known yet is it going to be a single device or multiple ones.

Duplicate thread?

I don't think we would know, as i read news there are a lot of companies making meego based OS for their devices and i assume that each one of them want to be first, as well i know that nokia is not only one announcing the meego phone (as other are more tablet and other types of the devices). for example Aava mobile.

Just one more thing: between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, it is highly probably that multiple devices, in multiple form factors will launch with MeeGo. At least one smartphone from Nokia, probably a tablet from Nokia, further revised editions of MeeGo for netbooks; and Novell is going to release a SUSE version of MeeGo as well.

there are also chinese linux distros on meego announced, and as we know china never sleeps ))) so we would wait for a lot of devices =0)

Apparently Nokia will ship a phone with Harmattan before Intel ships their tablet. Now here is why the questions dude, so please chill:
Harmatten was/is the next step for Maemo but Harmattan has been re-branded a MeeGo OS.

However, a device running Harmattan will not be a fully realized MeeGo device as it will not yet have all of MeeGo components. Think of it as having MeeGo 0.9 and the Intel device as having MeeGo 1.0 (version numbers used as an example and are not fact :) ).

So with a tight interpretation of your question: When does Nokia/Intel plan to release the first devices pre-installed with MeeGo? ..the answer would remain: The announced Intel device.
A loose interpretation of the question and the answer could be:
Nokia's planned Harmattan/MeeGo device.

If you take out the word pre-installed and loosely interpret the question, the answer could be: It already has, the N900. :)

Now I'm no expert here but that is what I believe based on what I've read. The reality could be something all together different as I have been known to alter my mental state through the use of chemicals and natural herbs from time to time.

This is great to hear! I like the possibility of different companies making MeeGo devices. I hope Sony or Dell plan on making either netbooks or tablets with MeeGo. Maybe HTC or SE will make MeeGo phones and increase the chances that one will include a QWERTY keyboard.

I really trully hope they marketing involved in these future devices... With Apple saturating ignorant people's mind with iPhone commercial, people don't know any better... Everybody is impressed when I show them my N900 but it's sad that they never heard about it before :(
Nokia/Intel get on television!!! lol

You can be sure that Nokia will be advertising it's heart out for MeeGo and for the first device. They are throwing Symbian out from high end and will surely want people to know that they got new player in town.
They need to get the things rolling and get people to code for Qt.

Believe me you don't want the N900 in the hands of the general consumer. They don't want to buy a phone and spend their entire days on a forum looking for fixes. It will just drive loads away from MNokia devices forever.
