A quick review of Intel's Mobile Linux efforts
- Moblin rewrites NetworkManager
- Moblin merges with Maemo to make Meego
- First Meego Phone
- Intel goes back in-house, announces Tizen
- First Tizen release
This is not a serious contender as a mobile OS, and reporters need to stop
treating it as such. It is a pet project for Intel engineers. They've switched
distribution bases, brought it inhouse, rewritten projects instead of fixing
bugs, have switched from GTK+ to Qt to EFL, sponsored a project to replace X11,
and god knows what else.
The pathetic thing is,
this Moblin 2.0 announcement
video is still a pretty compelling demo. It would be nice if they'd worked
on that instead of throwing it out and rewriting the UI from scratch multiple
times.
