Meego 与其他手机操作系统PK

看到 Meego 推出，无缘由的喜欢，直觉上，因为这个名字“ Meego” ，直译成中文“我行”，再加两个字“我行我素”。实际上，直觉背后，总是隐藏着真实缘由。

在这个网络即地球村的时代，所想即所得，于是，我直奔 Meego 老家 Meego.com ，加入这个家庭（邮件列表）才能感受到村民们互助互进的氛围，仅仅做一个旁观者也很难与家庭成员建立起纽带。

昨天刚刚加入，今天早晨十几封邮件已经悄然躺在邮箱中。其中，大家争论最多的问题之一就是 Meego 到底该采用 rpm 还是 deb ，各抒己见，没有定论。当某一天，我们看到一个活跃的小鸡在面前晃动，可能会在脑子中闪现一下“这小鸡到底是怎么哺成的？”实际上，阅读一封封邮件的过程，就是目睹从鸡蛋演化为小鸡的过程，这其中的乐趣甚至超过看到小鸡出世的那一瞬间。

其中， M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 的邮件中写到：

Yes! In particular, we need marketing and sales people - MeeGo has to be *better* than iPhone / iPad, Android and ChromeOS, and the world needs to know *why* it's better.

我随即发了一封邮件问到：

 Yes! I want to collect the factors why meego's better. How can I do?

   很快，收到他的回复：

 My own take is

1. MeeGo is totally open. Apple is mostly closed. Android is mostly open, but ChromeOS is open only on the device - the actual apps run in Google's cloud.

2. MeeGo is a single platform. for handhelds and netbooks. Apple has an iPhone / iPad platform. and a laptop / desktop platform, and no netbook at all. Google has a handheld platform. and a netbook platform.

3. You can run almost any Linux app on MeeGo, given enough RAM and processor capacity. iPhone / iPad apps need to be developed specifically for the platform. Most open source apps will run on the MacOS X laptops and desktops. Android apps need to be developed specifically for the platform, and ChromeOS "netbooks" don't run apps at all - just a browser.

4. For the developer, I think MeeGo is way easier to work with. But I don't know that developers are the target market. Linux, after all, has one percent of the desktop / laptop market share. ;-) (And 99 percent of my attention share - the other 1 percent is devoted to weekly virus scan and Windows Vista updates. ;-)

随后，我又针对此邮件一一问了问题，不知然间，不同的人从不同角度来回答你，问题的答案也就逐渐浮出水面。
