I am under the impression that Intel sort of backed away from meego when Nokia went with WinPhone. I do know that Intel stopped hiring programmers to work on meego about that time. I would expect that the printing stack at the UI level is the more or less stock Qt components but the lower levels of that stack I don't know. I am under the impression that the Intel/Nokia deal was that Intel would do all of the apps and UI stuff and Nokia would do all of the systems stuff.

I have had a little contact with Intel's Meego team manager but I do not have any technical details. I am under the impression that Intel sort of backed away from meego when Nokia went with WinPhone. I do know that Intel stopped hiring programmers to work on meego about that time.


I would expect that the printing stack at the UI level is the more or less stock Qt components but the lower levels of that stack I don't know. I am under the impression that the Intel/Nokia deal was that Intel would do all of the apps and UI stuff and Nokia would do all of the systems stuff.
