Reports are surfacing that Intel may be planning to cease development of its MeeGo OS as it's not gained industry support, with handset and tablet developers looking elsewhere.
Instead, industry sources claim Intel will look towards Android and Windows Phone OSes for its hardware in 2012.
Where has MeeGone?
Intel itself declines to comment, stating that it remains committed to MeeGo despite speculations to the contrary. It also maintains that it is dedicated to the MeeGo development community in regards to meeting the requirements of its open source users.
MeeGo had initially been set up by Intel and Nokia, however with the latters recent move toward Windows Phone, the future has been looking bleak for MeeGo.
With few players adopting the Linux-based OS for their handsets or tablets, these industry speculations are looking ever more valid.
