Difference Between MeeGo and Android

• MeeGo and Android both are open sourced Linux based smart phone operating system.

• Android project is currently carried out by Google and MeeGo is carried out by Intel and Nokia as a joint venture.

• Android already have a huge application market having more than 200,000 applications whereas in MeeGo is currently under development. But some of the Nokia OVI apps and Intel AppUp will run on MeeGo.

• Android already captured considerable mobile market and MeeGo is still under development and not released for commercial use
