Analysis: Dell has dragged the Linux-ARM Trojan horse inside the Wintel PC
,----[ Quote]
| The Dell Latitude E4200 and E4300 laptop computers run a version of Linux as
| an "instant-on" operating system running on hardware with flash memory that
| is separate to the main Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system running
| on an Intel Core2 Duo processor. In theory, users can do email and other
| light applications under Linux, Mozilla and so on, and only switch to the
| Windows operating system and the Intel processor for the heavier
| applications.

Netbooks: A Subsidized Outcome For Linux And ARM?
,----[ Quote ]
| Cellular service providers are likely to go with ARM/Linux-combo netbook
| designs in striving for lowest-cost hardware (thereby minimizing their
| upfront losses), as well as to reduce the likelihood of viruses, spyware and
| other customer-frustrating (and, don't forget, network bandwidth-consuming)
| annoyances. And the resultant reduced functionality won't be the problem it
| otherwise would be for consumers, both because the cellular service providers
| will position the subsidized offerings primarily as always-online
| communications platforms (web surfing, email, chat, social networking, etc),
| and because the systems' ultra-low price tags will curb purchasers'
| expectations of their capabilities.

MIDs haven’t made it, but Intel is undaunted
,----[ Quote ]
| What is new is that Intel is getting set to release its Moblin 2 operating
| system for these devices. Moblin is based on Linux (Intel has apparently been
| hiring some noted Linux developers) and it will be distributed by Canonical
| (the Ubuntu people) and Novell. At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later
| this month, Intel plans to announce several new MIDs–including ones from new
| hardware partners–based on Moblin 2, according to the BusinessWeek story.

ARM and Adobe join up
,----[ Quote ]
| Considering some of the most popular websites on the interweb today use FLV
| as a video format for their... uhm... videos, it’s no surprise that Arm and
| Adobe are teaming up to catch the mobile device choo-choo.
