We knew Windows Phone 7 was on the way and with it becoming official at the Mobile World Congress, many liked the look and feel of the new phone OS from Microsoft believing that this had the appearance of a modern OS and would be well suited for mobile devices.

After all, Windows Mobile 6.5 isn’t that old and is used on countless handsets. Well, it looks like Microsoft is planning on supporting all variants of their mobile OS, at least for now.

Acer provided an interesting change of scenery at the Mobile World Congress by unveiling not a new smartphone, but a netbook instead. The Acer Aspire One 532G is designed to support the media requirements of mobile users and should please those that are looking for a portable media station.

The Aspire One 532G runs on Intel N450 Pine Trail, and is actually the first-ever netbook to sport NVIDIA’s ION GPU-ION 2 graphics. What does it mean for the casual music and video lover? Lots.

It’s easy to love the 10-hour battery life promised on this netbook, especially when you know it’s going to be sporting some pretty sweet graphics. It also has support for YouTube HD, enhanced CUDA support, 1080p playback, 7.1-channel audio, and an optional 3G feature.

Surprisingly, Acer also put 3-D gaming into the plans. On a 10.1-inch device, I’m not sure how much of a plus factor this is. But then again, at least it’s an option. In any case, the Acer Aspire One 532G won’t be flying off store shelves until after March’s CeBit. Stay tuned.

Some eight months ago, both Intel and Nokia announced that they would be sharing information and resources about their respective Linux software platforms. For Intel, that was Moblin and for Nokia it was Maemo. Today, the fruition of their labor has resulted in the MeeGo operating system which in terms of name choice, doesn’t sound any better then either of its parent software platforms.

Also announced was that the Moorestown-powered LG GW990 which was originally slated to run on Moblin will now be the first smartphone to utilize the the new operating system.

There are high hopes for MeeGo with Intel representative, Renee James mentioning that MeeGo “is designed to be crossed platform. You will see multiple devices from multiple manufacturers.” Ultimately, the goal of MeeGo is to see multiple mobile devices powered by the new OS including other mobile phones, tablets, laptops and netbooks.

For now though LG is the only major brand to announce a MeeGo device although Nokia has also hinted at the possibility of having one of their own devices down the road.

MeeGo should be rolling out by June of this year and the LG GW990 is likely to be available in the Korean market by the second half of 2010, after which, we should also see it enter other global markets.
