I found few of the differences as below. Releases : MeeGo :As an open source software platform, MeeGo will help to reduce market fragmentation and complexity, while helping to accelerate industry innovation and time-to-market for a wealth of new Internet-based applications, services and user experiences.
Android : Created market fragmentation. Frequent code releases force to upgrade the devices frequently Difference between two releases is enormous. Software maintenance is complex in developer’s point of view License : MeeGo : Fully open source Android : Consists of Apache, BSD, Open source License: Android is going to be established as a “middle ground” in the openness spectrum: more open than proprietary competitors (iPhone, Windows Phone, Blackberry, WebOS, etc.) and possibly less open than others (MeeGo, Symbian) Architecture : MeeGo :Does not use virtual Machine. Each application is a process. Android :Use Dalvik Virtual Machine. Each application runs in its own instance of Virtual Machine. It takes a considerable files to load the huge .jar files. App development : MeeGo : It’s easy as it supports libc. Android : Android use very scaled down version of libc i.e. Bionic also the pthread library support is very limited. Maintenance : MeeGo :As its maintained by Linux foundation and supports upstream components, the maintenance is easy for the components. Android : Maintaining the additional drivers and enhancement like binder driver, low memory killer, Logger, kernel Debugger, Ashmem, Alarm, Power management is uncertain. Kernel is patched for enhancement to support Android. Hardware support : MeeGO : New player in the market. will have more support in future apart from Intel and Arm. Android : Has good support for hardware.

Such as Nokia 5230. If Meego can run perfectly in most of the Symbian S60 phones, it'll be popular soon. I think Nokia had already hinted saying that MeeGo would be for their high-end devices only and Symbian for the rest which I think is the right way. If the hardware is not capable, why spend time/money/energy on it porting to a low powered device then? Doing that, you will too much complicate the process and finally yourself. Look what Microsoft, Google and virtually every one else are doing now. They all are going the same route. The route of dictating the minimum hardware specs required to run their respective OS's. On a side note: The list of companies that have pledged support for MeeGo so far is here. Please note that this list is not the absolute latest. http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=46 http://linux-foundation.org/weblogs/press/2010/04/12/meego-developer-community-grows-as-software-ecosystem-support-broadens/ http://linux-foundation.org/weblogs/press/2010/04/12/public-support-for-the-meego-project/ Thanks, @vkvraju 2010/7/22 Hawk Wang <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: > The question is too big.... let's say in technology and business ways. > > From techonlogy viewpoint, I like meego is better than android.
