Take a look at this new video from Intel that demonstrates the user interface of its MeeGo OS for tablets.
AnandTech notes that "the screen is treated as a viewport into an infinitely wide and infinitely tall desktop. You scroll from left to right to view more panels, and up/down to view more information within a panel.
"Each panel is grouped according to an overall function. The My Tablet panel includes your top applications as well as device settings for when you absolutely need to do something the old fashioned way. The Friends panel aggregates all of your communications between you and your friends. This could be in the form of tweets, Facebook status updates as well as emails and other messages. Everything appears in this one view. If you tap on any of the items in the view, the associated application will launch (e.g. tap an email you received from one of your friends to fire up the email app)."
Unfortunately for Intel, Nokia, who was planning to use MeeGo in its next generation devices, has recently all but abandoned the OS in favor of Windows Phone 7.
