the specs of the two MeeGo netbooks are similar and might seem a bit on the light side: Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz for the Asus X101 and Intel Atom N435 1.33GHz for the Samsung N100, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 10.1-inch display. both devices come complete with USB and Ethernet ports, card reader and Wi-Fi. In keeping with the hardware, the devices also boast lighter prices and frames. they retail in the vicinity of Rs 12,500 and tip the scales at slightly more than a kilogramme.
But what really differentiates these netbooks from other similar devices is their MeeGo OS (the raison d’etre of this article). I knew I was on to something radically different the moment I hit the power button – boot-up time was around 15 seconds and shutdown was even quicker.
On starting, I saw a landing screen called my Zone with a row of tabs at the top; each letting you access different functions. and, if you have an internet connection running, it will also show you your social network (Twitter and Facebook) updates as well as new e-mail within seconds of loading. You can also check up on your calendar and to-do list from here. Shades of Android’s widget-on-homescreen formula? yes, and I love it.
the other tabs let you access functions such as the browser, e-mail, chats and IM, applications on the computer, your status on different social networks, and music and video. On MeeGo, there are no dropdown menus in the main interface -– you just select the tab and click on the icon of the app you wish to use.
