In the next few weeks, Intel plans to release a version of the nascent OS so developers can start creating the user interface required to put MeeGo on different devices. The upcoming MeeGo OS will be completely open-source, and Jolla says that the new OS will be immune to constant patent wars that are saturating the mobile market. It will have its data center facility located in Hong Kong, where it will store Jolla’s data and provide cloud services, and they plan on conducting most of their research and development in Hong Kong as well. MeeGo is a discontinued Linux distribution hosted by the Linux Foundation, using source code from the operating systems Moblin (produced by Intel) and Maemo (produced by Nokia). However, the company is planning to put a lot of its focus on the Chinese market. Jolla confirmed its upcoming MeeGo OS will be ready for licensing by device manufacturers and service providers by spring 2013. Jolla is receiving €200 million in funding to develop and release a MeeGo-based mobile operating system codenamed “Sailfish.” The funding will come from a number of different partners in Jolla’s newly-established ecosystem alliance. ![]()
