You may have already seen the video from IDF where Moblin 2.1 for handhelds was announced and seen the demonstration of Moblin 2.0 on Moorestown but in addition to that we were give a sneak peek at Moblin 2.1 for handhelds running on a (Menlow demonstration) platform. Pankaj Kedia from the Ultra Mobility Group also answers questions about the platform.
Key points to note are:
- Launch with Moorestown in 1H 2009
- Project open source betas will be available later this year
- The Atom Developer Program app-store will be included
- It will be voice-capable
Part 1. Q&A With Pankaj Kedia
Part 2. Demonstration
they are clearly heading into the same space as nokia is with maemo.
thats especially funny given the nokia/intel cooperation going on with ofono, yet it seems neither is using that in maemo or moblin…
btw, that moblin can handle existing linux related software is interesting, but i was wondering, did he hit a icon in the corner to get it out of the way?
I’d guess apps can only run fullscreen with that window manager so you’d have to click on minimize or close to get back to the “desktop”.
