A MeeGo powered tablet and phone have been spotted in Russia, at an Intel event to announce MeeGo netbooks.

It was a week ago MeeGo v1.1 for handsets was officially released, and today the modding community has managed to port it to the Nexus One. We had reported earlier that the modding community was trying to port MeeGo OS to the Nexus One, HTC Desire etcetera.

A few days, Nokia had released the PR1.3 firmware update for the N900 which allows the device to dual-boot between Maemo and MeeGo OS. Following this, the MeeGo OS v1.1 for handsets has been released today as well with U-Boot support.

Nokia has released the PR 1.3 (V20.2010.36-2) firmware update for its Maemo based internet-tablet-cum-handset – the N900. The new firmware update adds support for the Nokia Ovi Suite to make syncing data between the handset and PC easier.

Along with announcing their quarterly financial report, Nokia also announced that there will be no more Symbian^4. Any update the Symbian platform will get, will be passed over to all the exisiting Symbian^3 handsets in the market as a download.

Quite a few months ago, Nokia had promised that the N900 will get a firmware update which will allow dual-booting to Maemo and MeeGo. The MeeGo OS is the combined effort of both Nokia and Intel.

Now you can install MeeGo on N900, Nexus One, Dell Streak and HTC Desire, thanks to unofficial ROMs cooked by fans.

Google has always advertised Android as an ‘open’ OS. The same stands true for the Nokia’s Maemo/MeeGo OS. Both the OS are very open towards hacking/exploiting and the modding community surely loves them due to this.

Nokia is expected to announce its MeeGo running handsets at the upcoming Nokia Event on September 15. The first MeeGo handset to be released by the Finnish company is expected to be the Nokia N9. In all probability, the N9 will hit the retail market in October or November month of this year.

It was less than a week ago that the pictures of the upcoming MeeGo slider from Nokia – the N9 leaked on the Internet. Today, we have the hardware details about the N9 thanks to a guy named Lee. According to him, the Nokia N9 will be powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm processor and will pack in 512MB of RAM.

Details about the Nokia N9 first emerged at the end of June. The N9 will be the first phone from Nokia to run the next generation of the Maemo OS – MeeGo.

MeeGo 1.0 which was released for Netbooks and Nokia N900 last month has been updated to fix bugs and add new features. The core MeeGo OS for netbooks has been updated to MeeGo 1.0.1 and only supports netbooks running on the Intel Atom processors.

The latest addition in the Nokia’s upcoming handset is the N9. The N9 prototype model has been spotted and it is said to be Nokia’s next flagship phone.

Nokia has revealed that all future N-series devices will run on MeeGo, with Symbian being used for cheaper handsets belonging to the E-series, X-series and C-series.

The Ubuntu Tablet will have a touchscreen interface and will be based on the Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. It will compete with the iOS, Meego and Android OS.
