Pete Kronowitt on Moblin Transitions at Scale 8x
By Dawn M. Foster (91 posts) on March 3, 2010 at 8:00 am
If you missed the recent Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE), you missed hearing about how Intel killed Moblin in favor of MeeGo from Pete Kronowitt. The Bitsource did a great interview of Pete after his presentation, and here are a few short quotes from the interview with Ryan Compton.
"MeeGo is a new platform designed to run on mobile devices under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. The MeeGo OS is specialized to run efficiently on your netbook, smartphone, or carputer and will deliver a full internet experience (ie Java, Flash, Silverlake, Adobe Air) on each of those machines. A stylish user interface provides quick access to commonly used applications with an emphasis on social networking tools. MeeGo is aggressively stack optimized for execution with a small footprint and speed. You can go from the “ON” button to the internet in 20 seconds on a low end netbook."
"Meego allows a developer to build an application in the well understood Qt development environment and run it with the core OS designed for Moblin. This provides a straightforward way to get your application running on any equipment supported by MeeGo allowing for more expansion of open source software into the exploding mobile device market. All 17 of the Linux vendors who were on Moblin are now supporting MeeGo."
