Nokia has released an early build of MeeGo for handsets (call it a pre-alpha version, if you will), thus keeping its promise made last week. This version of MeeGo that’s available today is a work in progress: the APIs are not stable and some components (including Web Runtime, APIs and optimizations for TI and Intel Atom chipsets) are missing. However, the build includes a Touch UI framework, Qt 4.7 with Qt Mobility API 1.0, and early versions of the core application suite – so developers interested in MeeGo can go ahead and give it a try (on the Nokia N900 or the Aava Mobile). Detailed info on lots of MeeGo projects can be found at this official webpage. Downloadable files, including the early build of MeeGo 1.1, are accessible here.

The Nokia X2 was announced today, and it once again proves that a company like Nokia , thanks to their scale, can introduce devices at price points that are simply unheard of. For 85 EUR, $112 or Rs. 5000.00 you get a fairly compact 111 mm x 47 mm x 13.3 mm phone that weighs only 81 grams.
Now yes, the 2.2 inch 320 x 240 pixel screen may be small by today’s standards, but you get a 5 megapixel camera, support for all the GSM/EDGE bands, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, dedicated music buttons, integrated FM tuner that has an antenna built it, stereo speakers, over 25 days of standby time, and over 13 hours of talk time. It even has support for Bluetooth 2.1, and can take microSD cards up to 16 GB, but we’re thinking it should also support 32 GB cards once they become more common place.
