How will it run on this. How can i connect my ipod/iphone to moblin ?
I have a samsung netbook with win 7. but its very slow. I guess this moblin will be fast. But my question remains..
What about office apps,
Media players,
iTunes ?

There’s a bunch of functionality that’s just skin and bones; no meat yet. But I do like what I see. Maybe I’ll shoot a short walkthough video…

It will be simply the low end hardware for the same screen size. Windows 7 will not loose its grip over that market.

With MIDs I would bet on Android.
And with smartphones we will just keep the mess that we have today. Maybe MIDs with cell capabilities will take over eventually. Killing most current players.

As for Moblin, I really still fail to see how it win over anything beyond MID territory and fight over it with Android and Win7.

I’ve updated the post to reflect that Moblin uses a Mozilla browser.

It works with mozilla, not webkit.
