So it becomes official -- Meego is now officially dead and a new Linux-based mobile operating system is being groomed to replace it, and it's called Tizen. Since Nokia moved ahead and partnered with Microsoft on the Windows Phone 7 OS, Meego has lost a huge supporter. Intel is left with no handset manufacturer so develop Meego so it's looking somewhere else and found Samsung. Imad Sousou posted the transition plans from Meego to Tizen on their blog: By now, you may have read that The Linux Foundation, with the support of several other companies, announced a new project, Tizen, to build a new operating system for devices. So it begs the question: why not just evolve MeeGo? Shifting to HTML5 doesn't just mean slapping a web runtime on an existing Linux, even one aimed at mobile, as MeeGo has been. Over the next couple of months, we will be working very hard to make sure that users of MeeGo can easily transition to Tizen, and I will be working even harder to make sure that developers of MeeGo can also transition to Tizen. But many of you who closely watch this space may be asking: what about Meego? Read more in our articles including "RIP: Meego; Well, hello Tizen!" and "Acer Iconia Tab M500 is a Meego tablet".
