Nokia is gearing up with the MeeGo OS and Intel chip equipped smartphone to break into the U.S. smartphone market. News reports said that the Finnish handset maker is going to introduce Nokia N9 slider smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2011.
The Nokia N9 phone will sport a 1.2GHz Atom processor and it will be the first smartphone with Intel processor. Reputed Finnish technology magazine, Prosessori, reported that the phone will be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress, during the keynote speech of Nokia’s CEO, Stephen Elop.
The way Nokia failed to establish itself in the U.S. smartphone market, Intel is yet to establish itself in the mobile device chip market.
Earlier, Nokia was planning to introduce a Maemo based phone with TI OMAP processors but all that has changed. At the 2010 Mobile World Congress, Intel and Nokia, in a joint press conference, announced that Intel’s Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo will be rolled into a new platform called MeeGo that can run on “Moorestown platform.” In December 2010, Intel’s Paul Otellini said that smartphones with Medfield-based CPUs will be release in the middle of 2011. Medfield is the successor of Moorestown platform-based processors.
