LG working on MeeGo Linux tablets, phones, and more?

LG is holding a session at the MeeGo Conference next month where the company will show off devices running MeeGo, including tablets, phones, and in-vehicle entertainment systems. It’s not clear at the moment if this means that LG will definitely be bringing these devices to market, but it at least shows that the company is putting some of its research dollars into MeeGo.

MeeGo is an open source Linux-based operating system designed for mobile devices including netbooks, tablets, smartphones, and in-car systems.

Nokia and Intel were the primary backers of the project initially, but with Nokia throwing its weight behind Windows Phone 7, it’s starting to look like LG might be the first big name electronics company to produce a MeeGo phone… or at least to show one off at a trade show.
