The shape of things to come
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that every vendor is getting on the netbook bandwagon-and if theyâre
| not, theyâre trying to get their own bandwagon rolling with a raft of similar
| form factor devices. Consumers love netbooks as a cheap, internet-enabled PC
| substitute and carriers seem happy to subsidise them in order to drive mobile
| broadband subscriptions.

| Linux will be the glue that holds the joint effort together
|
| Both companies have their own in-house Linux projects-Intel with Moblin and
| Nokia with Maemo-and will align their respective strategies around a number
| of key open source technologies such as oFono, ConnMan, Mozilla, X.Org,
| BlueZ, D-BUS, Tracker, GStreamer, and PulseAudio. Incidentally, Intel
| recently acquired mobile and embedded devices software firm Wind River for
| $884m and said it would licence Nokiaâs HSPA 3G modem technologies to
| complement its own mobility platforms.

ARCHOS Adds Android Telephony to Mobile Internet Device
,----[ Quote ]
| archos-7This announcement out of ARCHOS is right up the alley of what I said
| a week or two ago. The line between MIDs and smartphones will blur as folks
| donât want to carry both a phone and Internet browsing device. Thatâs
| precisely where ARCHOS is heading with their newest IMT, or Internet Media
| Tablet.
