Vodafone offers contract-free mobile phone for under £10

Vodafone has announced a new own-brand handset that's likely to sell for under $15, which is around £9.60 at current rates. The phone is called the Vodafone 150 'Tiger 1' and was announced this week at Mobile World Congress.

However, this device is unlikely to reach the UK because it – and its sibling, the sub-$20 Vodafone 250 'Tiger 2' – is designed for emerging markets. In the next few week's both dual-band GSM mobile phones are expected to go on sale in India and across Africa.

Goodbye Maemo, goodbye Moblin, hello MeeGo

Intel and Nokia, which announced a partnership last summer, have decided to merge two of their software platforms. Intel's Moblin platform will join with Nokia's Maemo to create a new Linux-based software platform called MeeGo. It's designed to support a wide range of devices, from handheld computers to in-car entertainment and from netbooks to TVs.

The first release of MeeGo is expected in the second quarter of 2010 with devices launching later in the year. MeeGo apps will be offered via the Ovi Store and the Intel AppUp Center.
