MeeGo Demo on a Tablet - Intel-Nokia OS Running on a Slate
Curious to see how MeeGo's user interface looks like on a tablet? Uhm. Watch the demo.
MeeGo Operating System is the first product of Nokia and Intel's broad strategic collaboration, which was announced in June 2009. This OS is a Linux-based software platform that supports various hardware architectures including but not limited to tablets, smartphones and netbooks.

MeeGo OS has two basic modes: Simple and Panel. Simple mode shows your basic Applications Grid. Panel mode, on the other hand, features what-looks-like a series of customizable vertical panes that you can fill with photos, website bookmarks and video content among other things.
TP Thoughts:
MeeGo UI, especially in Panel mode, looks impressive while transitions between apps feels smooth and snappy. Off hand, I think the OS shows promise. I just hope price point won't keep conventional consumers from experiencing it on MeeGo devices - when they hit store shelves in 2011.
