The world of the mobile smart phone operating systems is about to get even more crowded as Intel has announced that Moblin v2.1 will support phones using their Atom processor.
Multiple applications running at the same time and the ability to flip through them was displayed on a MID, nothing really ground breaking there. Intel’s new offering will be one more Linux based OS for smart phones with the only interesting fact about it (so far) being that it’s designed for the Atom. This is the important part for Intel which seeks to compete more heavily against ARM in the MID and now in the phone sectors.
Expect this to pick up some steam as Intel will be throwing a lot of it’s bags of money toward dominating yet another chip market.
