LG steps in to Nokia void to develop handset version of MeeGo

Sure, Nokia will ship a single MeeGo handset this year. But after that, MeeGo, Nokia’s previous strategic smartphone platform , will be pushed into the incubation lab as the team begins focusing on future user experiences . According to Reuters , LG Electronics has stepped in to fill the void by joining a working group with ZTE and China Mobile intent on developing a handset version of the software. This, according to a member of the MeeGo technical steering group, Valtteri Halla, speaking at a developer conference today. Of course, LG was talking about MeeGo phones back in early 2010 when it was showing off its short-lived Intel Moorestown-based GW990 (pictured above). Happy now, MeeGo fans? You should be, we certainly are. LG steps in to Nokia void to develop handset version of MeeGo originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 15 Apr 2011 08:45:00 EDT.
