You may not use the MeeGo on your smartphone, as promised one day a certain phone manufacturer. But that does not mean that the system is completely dead. The MeeGo but survives, and its team responsible for its development announced version 1.2 of the operating system, releasing some news for application developers and mobile devices.

In addition, the 1.2 has a MeeGo improved multimedia support, streaming via RTSP and properties for progressive download, and an expansion of the modes of authentication data via VPN and wireless mode.
Application developers will find two applications to complement its work in scheduling for MeeGo: the QML, which is oriented toward the structure of the applications (or frameworks) and the Qt APIs, Mobility, which are very useful for developers who want to work with applications of location, connectivity and interactivity via touch screen.
