Intel is pushing their apps market for Atom based devices (called the AppUp) which targets netbooks and now developers have been approached to push development on the new SDK for MeeGo app development for mobiles that Intel has outed. The Intel SDK is in association with Nokia and allows “using Qt* development framework from Nokia to create MeeGo application”. This would take off the constraint of building apps only for netbooks and bring smartphone app makers to the platform.
While Intel wants to push the AppUp market for Atom based devices, Nokia pushing MeeGo from 2011 on its handhelds would help the development as well. And we can only speculate on Nokia tablets / handhelds with a Atom chip in it. For now, the momentum on MeeGo is surely up and the timing of this SDK is quite interesting again with Symbian Foundation going through trouble recently.
