Jolla Breathes A New Life Into MeeGo, Ex-Nokians To Continue Development

Jolla Breathes A New Life Into MeeGo, Ex-Nokians To Continue Development:

Just when you thought MeeGo was a closed chapter, comes news that ex-Nokians who worked on the N9 and the MeeGo community are coming together to ‘continue Nokia’s excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones’. The new project is called ‘Jolla’, which apparently when translated from Finnish means a better rescue boat, an obvious yet cheeky reference to the infamous burning platform memo.

This is great news for those of you who thought the MeeGo was the way to go for Nokia, but before you get too excited remember that doesn’t meant that your N9 will magically start getting updates from Jolla. That being said, you never know what the community might be able to achieve.

Jolla is here. #MeeGo based smartphones will have a bright, new future. Stay tuned!

Exciting times if you’re a MeeGo fan.
