Nokia's ill-fated N9 launched today and may have already made history as the first phone to debut on the same day as its OS is canceled.

"Day 1 is here," states the beaming post from a MeeGo development board, and it really says it all. Google's Android operating system has all but taken over the mobile space...

Moblin and Maemo, Maemo and Moblin. Now, you two turn and face one another, shake hands, and start living together.

It's been some time yet since we've heard anything new regarding Intel's homegrown Moblin operating system, but just when you thought that Intel (and the industry at large, really) was letting go of all hope when it comes to UMPCs and MIDs, in flies this. Despite the fact that netbooks have entirely overshadowed highly portable pocket PCs,...
