Metasys
is One of First Operating Systems to Run the MeeGo v1.0 Open Source
Platform 
COMPUTEX,
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 1, 2010 – Today, International Syst announced
plans to deliver Metasys MeeGo, an operating system based on the
MeeGo v1.0 software platform. Announced earlier this year, MeeGo
combines Intel’s Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo open source projects
into one Linux-based software platform hosted by the Linux
Foundation.
The
Metasys MeeGo is an operating system specifically created to support
the didactic requirements of the educational process and the new
generation of Intel-powered convertible classmate PC, a portable
computer for students designed by Intel®.
The
new operating system has an innovative youth-focused user interface
optimized for social media interaction. Designed to support 1:1
e-learning, Metasys MeeGo allows students to work together, exchange
information and review learning materials in a collaborative way.
Metasys
MeeGo includes significant feature additions and improvements,
including enhanced browser functionality and plug-in support, user
interface enhancements, support for 3G data connections, Bluetooth
device management, an integrated application installer, and an
educational media installer with greater performance and stability.
“Since
the beginning of the classmate PC project, Metasys and Intel have
worked together on the development of an educational solution for the
Linux environment, currently used in several countries. Now, Metasys
announces a MeeGo-based operating system and aligns its strategy of
developing the educational platform for the Intel-powered classmate
PC. The company expects to offer an innovative open software
operating system for the next generation of computing devices,”
said Paulo Neuenschwander Maciel, CEO of Metasys.
MeeGo
offers developers a common operating system environment across
multiple hardware platforms in a wide range of computing devices,
including netbooks, pocketable mobile computers, tablets,
next-generation smartphones, Internet-connected TVs and in-vehicle
infotainment systems.
”Classmate
PCs powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor are compelling devices
for the education market,” said Doug Fisher, vice president Intel
Software and Services Group. “These educationally-focused devices,
running operating systems like MetaSys MeeGo, will assist teachers
in creating an exciting and engaging learning environment for their
students.”
Metasys
MeeGo will be available in June, 2010.
