PeterMeeGo shoouted that MeeGo 1.0 is been released to the public...

after yesterdays announcement of Maemo PR 1.2,

i had to take a look myself on MeeGo :-)

i prepared a USB stick and copied the MeeGo image on it. Then instlled it on a Lenovo X61T Tablet Notebok with a Core2Duo processor and a SSD from RunCore - Runcore Pro V (the fastest SSD atm)....

this has nothing to do with Moblin or the MeeGo 0.90 without proper UI. This OS is running very smooth and fast. all my hardware devices were found and installed correctly as i can see... WiFi, BT and other stuff is running without hickups... ;-)

look here my first Video of MeeGo 1.0 (there are more coming...):

here is the official text from MeeGo.com Blogs:

Today we are announcing the project release of MeeGo v1.0. This release provides developers with a stable core foundation for application development and a rich user experience for Netbooks. The MeeGo Netbook user experience is the first to appear, with the development of the MeeGo Handset user experience moving to the open in June.

  

 

Releases are planned on a six month cadence. MeeGo v1.1 will be released in October and it will include support for touch-based devices, such as Handsets, Tablets, and In-Vehicle Infotainment systems. The development tree for MeeGo v1.1 is now open and we will start releasing various components in the v1.1 tree, including opening the development of the handset user experience in June.

 

We are now releasing the MeeGo API which includes Qt 4.6, the MeeGo SDK with an integrated application development environment, and various other operating system tools. Currently, the MeeGo SDK is focused on Netbooks, but the next version of the MeeGo SDK, an early developer release in June, will support touch-based devices, such as Handsets and Tablets.

 

The MeeGo Netbook User Experience includes:

- Visually rich Netbook user experience, building on the latest open source technologies.

- Instant access to your synchronized calendar, tasks, appointments, recently used files and real-time social networking updates through the home screen.

- Aggregation of your social networking content. This allows you to see your social networking activities on one screen, easily interact with your friends, and update your status and site information.

- For a fast and rich Internet experience the MeeGo Netbook user experience integrates Google Chrome or, if you prefer a fully open source browser solution, Google Chromium is also provided. Soon we will be releasing the MeeGo Handset user experience which will use the Fennec Mozilla Browser.

- Easy to use applications for email, calendar and media player.

- Highly optimized for power and performance.

- Languages: Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Swedish, Polish, Finnish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, English, British English
