Barcelona of the Mobile World Congress, the biggest mobile show of
the year, and the announcements were popping thick and fast. One of

"MeeGo represents the merger of Intel's Moblin open source
platform (already hosted by LF) and Nokia's Maemo project, and
represents a bold move by both companies to re-stake a claim in a
marketspace that grows in value and complexity by the day."
