BARCELONA—At the Mobile World Congress on Monday, Intel and Nokia on Monday announced that they will merge their Moblin and Maemo platforms into one software platform, dubbed MeeGo.

MeeGo will be open source and hosted by the Linux Foundation. Developers can use the Qt app development environment and market apps through Nokia's Ovi Store or the Intel AppUp Center.

The first MeeGo release is expected in the second quarter of 2010, with new devices coming next year.
