According to a post on Fortune, Intel CEO thinks if Nokia drop Meego, it should have at least teamed up with Google and it's mobile OS, Android.
"I wouldn't have made the decision he made, I would probably have gone to Android if I were him, MeeGo would have been the best strategy but he concluded he couldn't afford it." " Intel's Chief Executive Paul Otellini said.We also thought the same, when we wrote about Meego go and Nokia Lay offs. Anyway Elop, Nokia CEO was attracted to Microsoft money it seems. It is sad to see such a successful company falling on it's knees, specially in front of Microsoft. But I guess even bad CEO's know the value of money. But Android And iOS should be happy, one of the major competitors are going away, if not soon, pretty soon.
Meego was born out of Linux-based platforms Maemo and Moblin.when Nokia and Intel decided to join the forces last year.
The Intels CEO also left a remark for tablet aficionados, namely Apple fan boys,
"(The view that) 'PCs are dead and tablets are going to eat our lunch and there's no growth in the PC market', let me just say 'bunk' to that,"But I can't wait to see how Elop runs when certain CEO (Whom even Google will not consider)start throwing chairs around!
