RedFlag appear to have reached developer release stage for their Midinux MID-optimised operating system. A new website outlines the operating system features and advantages and offers customization possibilities for hardware vendors. We should have a developer version to play with in the coming weeks and I’m excited to see if they’ve got the right balance of ease-of-use, features, look and speed.
More mobile-optimised news comes from Canonical (Ubuntu) who have been talking about Ubuntu Mobile to Computex visitors. Release is still scheduled for October and “Ubuntu Mobile will aim at a full Internet experience, with video, sound and fast and full-fledged browsing on the MID platform.” Full Internet experience is a strong term but I know they’re working with Mozilla on a Firefox branded browser so again, it will be interesting to see what balance of specifications they go for.
