Novell has introduced SUSE® Moblin, the first fully-supported desktop operating system for netbooks and nettops. Leveraging the enterprise-class capabilities of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, SUSE Moblin is optimized for Internet, social media, and Web-centric collaboration usage.
SUSE Moblin features an array of office productivity and social media applications making it the premier operating system for the Atom-processor platform. From the business executive to the field service worker; college student to pre-teen; all users will benefit from this new release. It marries the quick boot time and usability features of Moblin with the legacy of innovation from Novell.
SUSE Moblin will have the following applications preloaded: Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Novell Mono, Novell Moonlight, OpenOffice.org Novell Edition (office productivity suite), and integrations into social media applications (Facebook, Last FM, MySpace, Flickr).
SUSE Moblin was demonstrated at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with partners MSI and Samsung. Products are available now in select geographies.
About Moblin
Moblin is an open source project, hosted by the Linux Foundation, that provides an optimized Linux platform for the next
generation of mobile devices including netbooks, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, and other embedded devices. Moblin is optimized for Intel Atom Processor-based devices.
Novell has worked closely with Intel and the Linux Foundation to bring this innovative and completely new user experience to end-users by developing rich media management, collaboration software, and user interfaces optimized to run on netbooks with Moblin v2.1. This is the crystallization of the promise announced to the world in Spring 2009 by Intel and Novell.
About Meego
In February 2010, Intel and Nokia merged their popular open-source platforms (Moblin and Maemo, respectively) into a unified Linux-based platform called MeeGo. MeeGo will run on a multitude of hardware platforms across a wide range of computing devices including netbooks, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and others. The platform will be hosted by the Linux Foundation as a fully open source project.
The extensive leadership that Novell has shown in the commercialization of Moblin v2.0 and v2.1 will remain with MeeGo. In fact, our current efforts on Moblin v2.2 are being merged into MeeGo.com. Moblin as the core operating system platform remains largely unchanged resulting in an easy transition for Novell to the new platform.
