Video Interview: Pankaj Kedia of Intel talks about MeeGo and Ultra Mobility

Posted on 16 February 2010, Last updated on 11 March 2010 by

kedia I sat down with Pankaj Kedia today. Pankaj is responsible for ecosystem development for the ultra mobility group at Intel and plays an important role in interfacing with software developers and bringing their products into ultra mobile devices. I took ten minutes to ask him a number of questions about MeeGo. We talk about timescales, strategy, opportunities and I ask about a developer conference; a question I will definitely follow-up because having experienced the excellent Maemo Summit in 2009, it makes perfect sense to run a similar event or roadshow in 2010.

Summary of responses from Pankaj:

  • Talks about the synergy between Maemo and Moblin. More Robust OS with the same API to make it easier for developers.
  • Takes us one step closer to our visions.
  • Hundreds of people at Intel working on Moblin.
  • 15 OSV’s (Operating System Vendors) committed to Moblin.
  • ‘One plus One greater than two’
  • First version of MeeGo is ‘MeeGo Version 1’
  • Release in Q2
  • Roadmap will be accelerated
  • 5, 7, 10 year strategy.
  • Big opportunity for Intel
  • Each segment is fragement looking for a standards based software stack.
  • Ovi and Intel App Store Framework will remain separate.
