We all know about Moblin project headed by Intel and Maemo project from Nokia company.
MeeGo is an open source Linux project which brings together the Moblin project and Maemo into a single open source activity. MeeGo provides expanded features, improved performance, and a richer user experience for netbooks. With its advanced support for touch and connectivity, MeeGo is a compelling platform for netbook and tablet creation and application development. MeeGo is a light-weight, scalable, fast-booting and a brand-able operating system.
MeeGo includes:
- Performance optimizations and features which enable rich computational and graphically oriented applications and connected services development
- No-compromise internet standards support delivering the best web experiences
- Easy to use, flexible and powerful UI/app development environment based on Qt
- Open source project organization managed by the Linux Foundation
- State of the Art Linux stack optimized for the size and capabilities of small footprint platforms and mobile devices, but delivering broad linux software application compatibility
MeeGo currently targets platforms such as netbooks/entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones. All of these platforms have common user requirements in communications, application, and internet services in a portable or small form factor.

Hey, didn't Nokia have ditched MeeGo project and then LG join the development? Maybe N900 is the first and also the last Nokia's Meego device?
