Intel Launches Mobile Linux Project
An anonymous reader writes "Intel has unveiled an ambitious project aimed at developing open source software for mobile devices. The Moblin project comprises a Linux kernel, UI framework, browser, multimedia framework, and embedded Linux image creation tools, along with developer resources such as documentation, mailing lists, and an IRC channel. Intel says it hopes Moblin will serve as a 'point of integration' for multiple sub-projects, and appears eager to see devices such as its Mobile Internet Device design, and chipsets such as its Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 platform, be thoroughly supported by Linux. Although all of the projects currently focus on the Intel architecture, Moblin says it is open to hosting support for other processor architectures."

Why is a separate kernel needed for mobile devices? The beauty of the Linux is (was?) that the same kernel could run on everything from cellphones to supercomputers. Looks to me Intel wants to control the wireless device market with binary drivers talking to a separate proprietary kernel, licensed under GPL2.

Hmm I just bought a slightly outdated Nokia 770 just to see how the system works with linux. I'm curious. I just began playing with linux on my home computer. Mepis to be exact and now I want to try this stuff out.
