Feature-packed UMPC survives four-foot drops
,----[ Quote ]
| Data Ltd announced a ruggedized UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) claimed to survive
| multiple four-foot drops onto concrete. The Linux-compatible "DLI 8400" uses
| a 1.6GHz Atom processor, has hard disk or SSD (solid state disk) storage, and
| operates for nine hours via two hot-swappable batteries, the company says.

At last! Moblin has made Linux look cool!
,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin, though, is different. It's not a boiler. It's sleek, it's slick, it's
| almost sexy.
|
| So naturally, somebody's going to bugger it up. Of course they will. It's
| Linux!
|
| Instead of a single version of Moblin, there's going to be loads, and netbook
| firms are going to muck around with it, and we're going to end up with the
| same old confusion that stops Linux from breaking through and becoming the OS
| your mum, dad and grandparents use.

Linux To Regain 50% Netbook Market Share

| I'm sure some will dismiss Mr. Lim's projections as self-serving since Linpus
| is a Linux distributor heavily invested in the netbook market. It turns out
| Mr. Lim isn't alone in seeing Linux equal or even overtake Windows on
| netbooks. ABI Research sees it happening but they see it taking a bit longer
| than a year. They see Linux regaining dominance on netbooks by 2012. ABI
| cites the arrival of low-end ARM-based netbooks as part of the reason for a
| Linux resurgence. They also cite the arrival of Linux distributions designed
| for mobile devices, particularly Android and Moblin. Windows doesn't run on
| ARM processor based systems.
|
| While ARM has been getting lots of notice in the tech press a Spanish company
| called iUnika announced the first netbook with a MIPS processor (pictured).
| Linux already runs on MIPS processors. The support dates back to MIPS-powered
| SGI workstations running Linux back in the '90s. Windows, on the other hand,
| doesn't run on MIPS powered systems.
