MeeGo + LiMo = Tizen
A new project called Tizen has announced its existence. It is essentially the amalgamation of the MeeGo and LiMo projects, directed by Samsung and Intel. "Tizen will support multiple device categories, such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks, and in-vehicle infotainment devices. The Linux Foundation will host the project, where Tizen development will be completely open and led by a technical steering team composed of Intel and Samsung." The first release is due in the first quarter of next year.
