Thus we can really expect MeeGo to be an extra ordinarily interesting operating system and both of the companies will try to get complete hold of it but no guesses can be made at this time because it’s quite early to say something. The official website of MeeGo has claimed that the source code and the some more information relating to this operating system will be available in the coming week but this curiosity still remains that, which will get this OS. It has also been claimed that some other companies are also trying to get this OS on their mobile devices so lets see who will get this finally.

Intel which is popular as a good chip maker is now planning to bring several applications for the Netbooks and mobile devices at the upcoming Mobile World Congress. Basically the company is going for some software development program that will be designed to populate its AppUp Center application store with multiple applications. According to some blog post the company has plans to show off these applications along with the Atom developer program for which many people are desperately waiting.

Basically the main focus to build these applications is the AppUp center which the company wants to establish just like that of Google’s application store or Apple’s application store. The company is now depending completely on the developers to build free as well as paid applications for the Netbooks and mobile devices and try to develop the company’ s reputation in this regard.

Some of the applications which have been discussed in the blog are Fring, PopCatcher, Fanomena, and Fluoh and it has also reported that several other applications are also on their way. Some video editing applications are also coming and the ones discussed on the blog are video editor JayCut, image browser PhotoFlow, Last.fm client Vagalume, and EyeSight, the details of these applications will be available very soon and it is expected that these applications will be a real profit earning source for the company.

Due to a very tough competition of Netbooks in the computing industry HP is trying to make a unique place for its devices and this is the reason they have started developing touch screen Netbooks and Laptops.  The latest devices will also be featuring some outclass internal capabilities apart from the touch screen displays. The first player of the touch screen display is the latest laptop the TouchSmart tm2 tablet with a 12.1 inch screen size. The latest Laptop as announced by the company will be powered by latest and famous Intel Atom processor and it is smaller lighter and consumer oriented than its predecessor and HP has very strong hopes with the release of this new touch screen laptop.

Some of the very key features as announced are a 10.1-inch LED anti-reflective display, integrated Digital LiveCam for video conferencing or live messaging, and a very exciting mark and scratch-resistant durable casing for those suffering with a severe case of butterfingers.
