Yesterday we covered some of the promise that the Moblin mobile platform has on netbooks. As JKOnTheRun notes today, Intel is also focused on it and its Atom chips in the smartphone arena. You can find video of Inventec's Mediaphone device built on Moblin and running the Atom platform here. The Inventec device looks like a cross between a smartphone and a small tablet PC. With the Linux Foundation now functioning as the steward of Moblin, and with it showing up on multiple types of devices, it's looking like Moblin will move well beyond the automotive applications that it was aimed at to begin with. UPDATE: Acer has announced plans to put Moblin on all of its products, from netbooks, to laptops, to PCs.Â
