We've had an amazing few weeks of articles and content posted to the Mobility and Atom communities, and wanted to share some of it in case you missed it. Developing for Mobile Internet Devices: Tools, Choices, and Development Environment Configuration In this article, Paul Ferrill says that making the right choices when it comes to programming language, [...]

At SXSW playing with MIDs - track me down!

I'm really tired of explaining to people what a MID is. All day long I interact with people at Intel and online who know (at least in general) what MIDs are, how they can be used, and where they fit in the Grand Gadget Hierarchy. But when I speak with friends and professionals outside of the [...]

Just a quick note on a couple of great articles published recently in the Intel Software Network. First, an update to the Google Gadget, one of the most popular downloads from ISN. The Google Desktop Gadget now provides information on the total percent memory used on both the main UI as well as the slide out [...]

MID Moves to make some virtual graffiti
By Jeff Moriarty (Intel) (33 posts) on January 21, 2009 at 10:06 am

Steve Paine on the MID Moves site has used a Wibrain i1, an Intel Atom-based MID, to make some virtual graffiti across the city of Koln, Germany. He let people follow along live as he checked in from different locations with his GPS, and his resulting design was a thing of beauty. Okay, I may be [...]

MIDs getting a real workout on MID Moves

If you're a developer on mobile internet devices (MIDs), or just a fan, you should check out the MID Moves site that launches this week. I love this site not just because they're playing around with some great new systems straight from CES that I haven't even seen yet, but because... well... it isn't Intel. While [...]

An iPhone is a Netbook?

Last week Steve Jobs, in that special way he has of tossing out little random nuggets of chaos into the industry, basically said that Apple already had a netbook out there called the iPhone. As a rabid iPhone and netbook user, I called Shenanigans. Then a series of articles at What's On iPhone made me stop [...]

Where can you find a MID?
By Jeff Moriarty (Intel) (33 posts) on October 22, 2008 at 9:10 am
Comments (25)
One of the most common questions I get about MID's isn't a technical one - it's simply "where can I get one?" Here is at least a partial answer of where you can currently find Intel Atom processor-based MIDs. It's a tricky question, and even people inside Intel have a tough time keep track especially with [...]

Five Things that Netbooks Need? Just five?

Wired has an interesting article up on the Five Things That Netbooks Need. I'm usually a little nervous what weird things are on lists like this, but I totally agree with their first four items. I discussed several of these exact topics with people while at IDF and most people seem to agree that if [...]

Atom processors in your ultra mobile... server?!

Not sure how I missed this at the time, but The Register reports UK hosting company Bytemark is using Atom processors in their servers. Huh? Servers? I was initially pretty amused by this, but given that a search of "green data center" on The Google returns 22 million hits I guess I shouldn't have been. Power consumption [...]

What do women like in their gadgets? This question came up at IDF as a bunch of gadgeteers sat around comparing some of the existing and newly unveiled devices. Kiesha Cochrane asked the inevitable question about why anyone would trade in an iPhone for any of the other options available, sparking a debate on the [...]

Tuesday I sat down with Uday Keshavdas, the Intel Consumer Marketing Manager for Mobile Internet Devices, and Steve Paine from UMPCportal.com to briefly discuss what Uday thinks are the high points in the area of Moblin and MIDs at IDF. I'll be posting links to the Moblin training material after IDF.

Yesterday Steve Paine (of umpcportal.com fame) and I raided the MID showcase at IDF and went hands on with some of the newest devices available. We highlighted some of the ones that caught our eye, and you can see our close-up review of the newest BenQ, Fujitsu, and other MIDs below. Which devices appeal to you?

Really enjoying IDF so far, and learing quite a bit. Had a few meet ups this morning with people who wanted to learn more about MIDs, including a visit to Wired Magazine. Of course, I'm learning as much from all the talks as everyone else so my brain is filling up quickly. One of the things that makes [...]

All next week I'm going to be prowling around the Intel Developer's Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, looking for all things Atom, MID, and Moblin related. I've been the Community Manager at Intel for the Atom Software Developer Community for a few months now, but I'm still learning what all the pieces and parts mean [...]

OSCON has been an interesting run for me today, and I think my brain is full. My focus has been following Moblin and mobile device development, and it has been a mixed bag. The Moblin Camp yesterday was sadly canceled, but there was lots of interesting things to be found in the sessions and on [...]

Yesterday TechCrunch announced they are building their own $200 web tablet, and asked for help doing it. The planned stack so far is to run BSD or Linux, with the Gnome desktop. We will probably take the Gnome Onscreen Keyboard project and adapt that as the primary input device ... there will be Firefox, running in [...]

I'm the community manager for the Atom Software Developer Community, and am going to be at OSCON this week in sunny Portland to educate myself on Moblin, learn more about the Open Source Community, talk to my Moblin focused Intel cohorts, and blog as much as I can. I've always been interested in Open Source [...]

Last week I was musing about getting an iPhone but hadn't committed. I had a decent enough Windows Mobile smartphone that wasn't perfect but was sufficient. Then in a fit of iLuck, I was walking past an Apple store last weekend just as a new shipment of phones came in. My inner Geek took control [...]

Thank you to the few people who have contributed to the MID Wiki! We have the first few winners selected and will be posting their names shortly. Sadly, we're not getting as many submissions as we were hoping. Since there is a $100 weekly prize for the winning submission each week, the only logical conclusion [...]

The Atom Software Development Community launches today on the Intel Software Network to better support ISVs and developers who want to develop around the Intel's Atom platform. The Atom community is closely tied to the existing Mobile Developer Community and the Moblin program, but targets more than just Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). We're working on [...]

Fascinating Prediction ~ ARM has MID design wins until 2014?

EE Times published an article yesterday explaining that ARM will have the majority of MID sales until 2014. Shockingly, I'm not too worried that anyone working on Atom or MID development is going to abandon ship. First, ...2014? I'd love to know what is going to be happening by the end of this year, let alone [...]

Social Media @ Work - Using a wiki for presentations

It's a little known fact, but Intel doesn't really like to build processors. We only make them to fund our ability to go make PowerPoint presentations (PPTs). We've got PPTs that cover everything from org charts to corporate branding to project status to technical architectural roadmaps. It's a rough road to recovery, but today my [...]

I'm happy to cautiously announce the launch of a wiki for all MID and mobile device development! We're using MediaWiki as the platform, and everyone is invited to make an account and contribute. I'm happy because I think this could be a great resource. The good feedback I received from my Atom 101 post made it [...]

Finally some good product teasing videos out of the IDF in China! It's not as good as getting product in my own hands to play with, but it's a start. This is the Lenovo Ideapad, and it sure looks pretty. Grabbed this from our mobility blog. Dadi Perlmutter, the VP of our Mobility Group, thinks that [...]

As I embarked upon my quest to understand the challenges that mobile developers face, especially around MIDs, my first step was trying to understand the playing field. I started with the Big Names floating around, and tried to tie them all together. For example, how does AIR compare to Android? Where does the iPhone SDK [...]

O Great Spirits... how should I develop for a MID?

I'm starting to wonder if the most important development tool for someone wanting to develop for MIDs isn't a C++ compiler, but maybe a crystal ball or a Ouija board. Perhaps those mystic tools could answer questions like: should I build mobile specific or web apps? Which OS/software stack/company allegiance should I follow? [...]

I've only be part of the Mobile Developer Community for a month, and spent most of that time reading up on the existing material and getting some new articles ready to post. The sheer amount of material to learn about mobile platforms, and especially MIDs is a bit daunting. Fun, but daunting. Sadly, the crushing injustice is that [...]
