MeeGo combines the best of Maemo with the best of
Moblin to create an open platform for multiple processor architectures.
"MSI netbooks, in combination with SUSE
Moblin, provide an innovative interface and robust computing capabilities as well as the cost-efficiency that our customers are looking for in these new devices."
Additionally, the Moorestown platform will be accompanied by a newer
Moblin software version,
Moblin v 2.0, that is based on the Linux operating system.
With Intel and the MOEA's support, the
Moblin Enabling Center's laboratory and its engineers will train and consult to device and software vendors, resulting in faster time to market for Moblin-based devices powered by Intel Atom processors.
The Linux-based
Moblin 2.1 operating system paired with the Moorestown platform provides a highly-responsive rich user interface.
I'M personally very excited, as a fan of open source software, about reports that Asus are going to sell Eee PC netbooks running the
Moblin operating system later this year.
Intel, he noted, has been working on the
Moblin open source project intended to provide a Linux platform for netbooks and other systems such as mobile Internet devices.
Aava Mobile, a developer of mobile platforms, announced on 4 June plans to deliver a new Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform based on Intel's next generation MID solution and on the Linux based
Moblin OS.
Open-Plug, the specialist in software development environments for portable devices, is working with Intel to integrate its ELIPS Linux Telephony Stack to the
Moblin Linux software stack for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) based on Intel's next generation "Moorestown" platform.
Going further back, Meego itself was the result of the merger of Intel's
Moblin project and Nokia's Maemo, which they used in the N900.
