Android is currently the only member of the Linux family in the mobile market, but Nokia claims that MeeGo is more open than Android. In the process of Linux operating on the mobile platform, another choice emerged. Who is the Orthodox blood of Linux? Android or MeeGo?
If Android is already doing well in the mobile market, some people may ask, why do we still need a Linux operating system of another version? But as I said at the beginning, although "too many choices are actually bad", it is as bad as not selecting one. MeeGo is a Linux-based mobile operating system that brings new options to those who do not want to use Android. Here are some reasons why I prefer Meego, not Android.
First, Meego is supported by a Linux-based non-profit organization. Google has many excellent free services, but as we know, these free services are designed for data mining, and Google is not a non-profit organization at all ). I would rather use a system running on my mobile phone as a human service than a Data Mining Service.
MeeGo will have a real software package management system. It will be based on RPM, but at least it will be much better than a simple "market place. The software that can be installed through this software management system is the same as the software that is compiled and compiled on other versions of Linux, any programming language supported by the operating system can be used for programming. It is much better than Java layer on Android.
Finally, because MeeGo is supported by the Linux Foundation, I bet it won't create a kernel branch like Google's Android. Using only one primary kernel on Meego will ensure that other distributions that use this primary kernel run on the same hardware to minimize the problem. I am confident that the Meego system will change a lot and eventually become mature in the months to come before the official launch of the Meego project into the market. I bet these changes will make Meego a good system.
How competitive will MeeGo be to join this market after such a long time lag behind Android?
