    "On July 16, Intel announced that it sponsoring a new open source incubator project called Moblin, short for Mobile and Internet Linux, to innovate solutions that scale and are interoperable across multiple types of mobility, digital health and digital home devices and usage models. Moblin’s key focus is Linux development for mobile devices and will include an open source collection of solutions, tools and a framework for sharing technologies, ideas, and usage models with the open source community."




    I thought it's pretty interesting that 1, Intel is supporting Linux, and 2, not on desktops but rather mobile platforms. Will this be a good or bad thing?

    Intel has shown it's support towards Linux for a long time. This time it seems to me they just want to be a part of the whole Linux based mobile phone greenphone/FIC Neo1973 thing, in case it's going to be a success.
