Intel and Orange are teaming up to deliver Orange multimedia services across a number of devices based on the Intel Atom Processor and MeeGo software platform.
Among the operator services (Orange Signature Services) that will be ported to the new platform are Orange TV and Orange Maps, even though we’re still waiting to see the first MeeGo-powered device announced.
It’s a good thing to see a major carrier such as Orange jumping on board to support the new platform. I’ve no doubts the first MeeGo devices will appear later this year, including both netbooks and smartphones.
And if you don’t remember, MeeGo was unveiled during this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, when Intel and Nokia agreed to merge their Linux platforms (Moblin and Maemo, respectively) into a single platform, which will be used across devices and which will work both with ARM and x86-based processors (such as the “netbook standard” Intel Atom).

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
