Canonical and Dell deliver Ubuntu Moblin Remix Developer Edition

Canonical, Dell and Intel Team up to deliver Moblin Ubuntu Remix Developer Edition on Inspiron Mini 10v
Sep 23 Intel Developer Forum, San Francisco: Canonical and Dell have collaborated to bring the latest developer edition of the Moblin™ v2 user experience to the developer market. Called 'Ubuntu Moblin Remix Developer Edition' and optimized for the Intel® Atom™ processor-based Dell Inspiron Mini 10v netbook, this release gives developer communities a great platform to develop and test Moblin and associated applications.
The Moblin project is pushing the boundaries of Linux user-experiences with fast boot times, new applications and innovative user-interface. Canonical has worked closely with Dell and Intel to create the Ubuntu Moblin Remix which extends and productizes core Moblin OS features as well as the user interface. The image will also be made available by Dell for download.
The delivery of Ubuntu Moblin Remix on a shipping netbook means that features like power management, wireless networking and suspend/resume are pre-tested. This enables developers to focus on writing value-added software.
“Moblin keeps on getting more exciting as a project with new applications and improved user experiences. It's great to be delivering this release with Dell to developers wanting to participate in Moblin,” said Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO, Canonical. “Intel and the Moblin community are bringing tremendous resource and investment into the Linux ecosystem and this product acts as a bridge to Moblin for developers."
“Dell continues to take the lead in offering innovative choices in how individuals interact with their PC,” said John Thode, vice president, small screen devices, Dell Consumer. “By collaborating with Intel and Canonical we can offer early adopters, developers, and Linux enthusiasts, a truly pioneering Moblin development platform, the Inspiron Mini 10v, optimized for overall better performance, quicker boot time, smaller footprint, and longer battery life.”


“Moblin™ v2 takes advantage of the best features of Intel® Atom™ processors and provides outstanding user experience for small form factor devices,” said Doug Fisher, vice president of Intel’s Software and Services Group and general manager of the System Software Division. “It has been scarcely three months since the Moblin v2 beta was released and with the release of Ubuntu Moblin Remix Developer Edition on the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v we see a great example of how quickly the market segment is taking advantage of key technologies from Intel, Canonical and Dell.”
