BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Nokia and Intel say they're combining their software for smart phones, tablet computers and other Internet-connected devices.
The new software, to be released in the second quarter, will be called MeeGo.
MeeGo would supersede Nokia Corp.’s Maemo, used in a few high-end phones.
It would also replace Intel Corp.’s Moblin, which it has been developing with an aim to get its own chips into phones and larger "mobile Internet devices."
MeeGo will arrive in a crowded market for smart phone software, which includes Google Inc.’s Android software and Symbian, already used by Nokia in many phones.
