MeeGo’s official user interface guidelines could easily end up determining whether the platform sinks or swims — no one wants a phone whose UI looks like junk, after all. The minions at Nokia and Intel’s little pet project have posted new OS shots as examples of how to properly implement the interface in third-party apps, and we’ve got to admit — things are looking a lot cleaner, prettier, and generally more modern than the first round of pictures we saw back in June , thanks in part to a demonstration of the platform’s comprehensive theming capability that can totally revamp how UI elements look.

If your current WindBox is growing a bit long in the tooth, MSI has a newcomer with somewhat more respectable internals. Since it’s a fanless machine designed to live on the rear of your LCD , you won’t be ordering one with a Core i7, but the included Core 2 Duo chip is certainly a step above what’s been offered in the past. It’s designed primarily to be used as an ultra-low power solution for folks needing to handle the simplest of simple tasks, though the integrated graphics are purportedly capable of HD playback (on a good day).

We’ve been hearing about Intel’s Sandy Bridge moniker for over two years now, and though we’re still some months away from their release in early 2011, AnandTech has managed to get one to play with — a Core i5 2400 model running at 3.1GHz, to be exact. Through the course of a typically exhaustive two-part, 15-page report, Anand details exactly how that chip performs and, more recently, what’s coming on the mobile front. For the desktop, the quad-core processor with integrated graphics performs quite well, besting similarly-clocked current processors by around 10 percent while offering similar power consumption.

Infineon , the company behind the baseband chips inside your super-duper new phone , is about to cash out from the wireless industry courtesy of Intel’s insatiable appetite . The Wireless Solutions Business (WLS), which accounted for nearly a third of Infineon’s €3 billion ($3.83b) revenue last year, is being sold to the American chipmaker for a cool $1.4 billion. For its part, Intel is quick to reassure the world (and its antitrust authorities) that WLS will continue to operate as a standalone business and continue to support ARM-based devices

When Intel released the details on its dual-core, mobile Atom N550 processor earlier this week ASUS was one of the first to raise its hand with a netbook sporting the new CPU. Well, now we’ve got a few more details on the forthcoming Eee PC and unsurprisingly — as it is coming from ASUS — there appears to be a couple of different versions.

As promised, we’ve been keeping an ear to the ground on Intel’s new mobile, dual-core Atom processor , and as luck would have it a number of netbooks are popping up with the new CPU baked in…well, at least in the land down under. Australian e-tailer Pena.au has 10.1-inch netbooks from both Gigabyte and Lenovo listed on its site with the fresh 1.5GHz Atom N550 processor.

Intel first made mention of its upcoming dual-core Atom for netbooks back at Computex, and now it’s making good on its promise with the ready-to-ship Atom N550. The chip operates at 1.5GHz, with 1MB of cache and support for DDR3 memory, and “similar” battery life to the Atom N450 . Intel is billing it as a more “responsive” experience, which will make sense as a selling point to anyone who has attempted any serious multitasking on a netbook
