Posted: 15 Feb 2010 02:59 AM PST


Today, at the MWC 2010 Nokia and Intel announced the merger of their Maemo and Moblin platforms respectively. The new platform will be called MeeGo. The name might be weird but its surely seems ready to Go!! Jokes apart this platform will not be restricted only to mobile phones but its for everything thats has a processor inside. Check out the video below that throws some light on this new platform from both, Intel as well as Nokia's point of view. You can also check more info and videos on the Official MeeGo Website. Nokia and Intel also announced that the first version of MeeGo will come out in Q2 2010 and MeeGo devices will be fully compatible with Nokia's Ovi store and also for independent developers who want to work on MeeGo, there is Intel's App Center. Also with the launch of MeeGo it does not mean that Maemo will be dead. Nokia has assured that the next Maemo version will be fully compatible with MeeGo. So its like, the next Maemo is MeeGo or you can say MeeGo is next generation Maemo.

Bolt, one the popular mobile Internet browsers has got a version upgrade. BitStream Inc which makes the Bolt Mobile Browser showcased the Version 1.7 of the browser at the Mobile World Congress 2010, which kicked off in Barcelona today. The new version is pretty fast and boasts of features like,direct Twitter integration, Spanish and Russian language support, an enhanced download manager, increased streaming video features and the ability to run widgets. Bitstream made this announcement exactly after one year of its formation. Like Opera, Bolt is a popular mobile Internet browser and has more than 4 million users, streamed over 135 million minutes of video (equivalent to 256 years if played back to back), served more than 512 million pages – as as many as 3 million pages per day, and downloaded more than 132 terabytes of data. Bolt is one of the fastest browser around and I have been using it regularly on my N79 and I must say that its a no non-sense application with fast page load speeds, nice rendering, data compression and its video streaming support is one of the best.
