Moblin, short for 'mobile Linux', was an open source operating system and application stack for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and embedded devices.〔(Moblin.org - Mobile Linux Internet Project )〕 It first merged with the Maemo effort and then both were integrated with the MeeGo project. Nokia stopped all MeeGo development after switching to Windows Phone. Intel discontinued work on MeeGo using Tizen instead. After the MeeGo project was scrapped, a group of people left Nokia and formed their own company, Jolla Oy. Jolla is currently developing the successor of MeeGo, Sailfish OS. Built around the Intel Atom processor, all builds were designed to minimize boot times and power consumption as a netbook and MID-centric operating system. The netbook/desktop version of Moblin supported other chipsets based on the SSSE3 instruction set, such as the Core2 and some Celeron processors. OEM support was scarce but hit an all-time high in 2009 when Acer replaced Linpus Linux with Moblin on their Acer Aspire One netbooks.〔〔(IDG News Service "Acer Will Use Moblin Linux Across Its Products" )〕 and LG Electronics chose Moblin OS 2.1 for its mobile Internet device class smartphone the LG GW990. Dell also once accepted orders for its Ubuntu Moblin Remix, a Canonical Ltd. which built Moblin on top of Ubuntu distribution as base.〔(Moblin 2 arriving via Dell with Ubuntu-Moblin remix netbook )〕 Few commercial products existed around Moblin 2 most prominently a Foxconn netbook〔(Foxconn SZ901 netbook with Linpus Lite Moblin V2 )〕 and an InvenTech smartphone,〔http://www.midmoves.com/2009/06/mr-blurrycam-spots-a-mediaphone/ 〕 both announced at Computex 2009. Mandriva offered Moblin's v2 version to all Mandriva distribution and netbook owners.〔() 〕 At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2010, MSI and Novell announced SUSE Moblin preloaded on the MSI U135 netbook. Following the release of Moblin version 2.1, this was the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to sell a fully supported Intel Atom processor-based netbook running Moblin-based technology to consumers. It was demonstrated at both the MSI and Intel booths at the show.〔(MSI Ships First Netbook Powered by SUSE Moblin from Novell )〕 In addition, Samsung showed four netbooks preloaded with SUSE Moblin. At the Mobile World Congress in February 2010, it was announced that the Moblin project would be merging with Maemo to create the MeeGo mobile software platform. == History == Intel launched the (Moblin.org ) site in July 2007 and significantly updated the site in April 2008 with the launch of the Intel Atom processor family at the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai. A custom software development kit (SDK) is available on the site. The Moblin 2 OS was specifically designed to run on an Intel Atom processor in a netbook.〔Ganapati, Priya. ("Intel Pushes New Operating System For Netbooks" ), 2009.〕 In April 2009 Intel turned Moblin over to the Linux Foundation. Subsequently, Moblin was merged with Maemo, becoming MeeGo. MeeGo's development was also hosted by the Linux Foundation, and initially governed by a Technical Steering Group overseen by Imad Sousou of Intel and Nokia's Valtteri Halla The Linux Foundation canceled MeeGo in September 2011 in favor of Tizen.〔https://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego What's Next for MeeGo〕 A new Finnish start-up, Jolla, announced in July 2012 that MeeGo’s community-driven successor Mer,〔https://twitter.com/JollaMobile/status/230579553142181888〕 would be the basis of their new operating system Sailfish OS slated to launch in a smartphone during 2013.〔http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/07/jolla-promises-meego-will-live-on-plans-new-smartphone/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moblin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
