Most mobile devices have their own operating systems. The iPhone, among others, is a prime example of this. But, one device that many haven’t created a specific OS for is the netbook. Instead of mobile devices they’re being treated as full sized computers packed into smaller containers – enter Intel, with Moblin 2.0.
The Moblin 2.0 OS has been designed to work specifically with netbooks, and will supposedly work with thousands of Linux applications without any porting or middleware. It’s designed to take advantage of the smaller screens, and in turn allow users to have longer battery life, shorter startups, and quick access to media and social networks.
If you’re interested in finding out more, check out this video that Intel has made promoting it. It’s only lasts a little less than two minutes, so it’s worth checking out.
