The Moblin steering committee is happy to release the Moblin v2.0
beta for Netbooks and Nettops for developer testing. With this
release, developers can begin to experience and work with the source
code of the visually rich, interactive user interface designed for
Intel Atom based Netbooks. The Moblin v2.0 user experience has been
designed from the ground up to provide unique ways to engage with
the internet, aggregate your social networking activity, and enjoy
your media content. The new user experience and core applications
were developed using the Clutter animation framework, leveraging
heavily from GL and the physics engine.
Experience it for yourself. Download<http://moblin.org/downloads>
the Moblin v2.0 Netbook beta images and take it for a test drive<http://moblin.org/documentation/test-drive-moblin
>. View the user experience video<http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-netbook-intro
>, take a look at the screen shots<http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-netbook-intro
>, or download the preliminary user guide<http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-netbook-intro
>.
We would like to invite and encourage all developers to test the
beta. We feel the code has reached a level where both developers and
enthusiasts can play with it. While fine tuning, bug fixing, and
polishing is ongoing, so is performance improvement, all of which
you should start seeing rolled into the weekly builds. We encourage
anyone to test it and provide feedback to us through bugzilla<https://bugzilla.moblin.org
> or on the developer mailing list<http://moblin.org/community/mailing-lists
>. Only with your feedback can we further enhance the user experience.
Moblin v2.0 Beta Feature Summary
* New, visually rich user experience, optimized for Netbook
and Nettops, building on the latest open source graphics technology,
such as Clutter, DRI2, and KMS. The user experience is provided
mainly through the toolbar and panels, available at the top of the
screen.
* The m_zone, acting as the 'home screen' panel. It provides
instant access to your synchronized calendar, tasks, appointments,
recently used files, and real-time updates from your friends on
social networking sites.
* Aggregation of your social networking content. This
provides you with the ability to see your social networking
activities on one screen, easily interact with your friends, and
update your status and site information. Twitter and Last.fm are the
currently supported social networking sites, with more to come.
* A web browser optimized for the Moblin 2.0 Netbook user
interface. Based on the latest Mozilla browser technology revised
into a Clutter shell, the browser gives you access to the whole
internet, as well as advanced features, such as video embedding and
the latest Flash plug-in, while integrating seamlessly into the user
interface.
* A 'Zoomable' media player. This player brings your media
collection to life as you zoom from viewing all media down to
focusing on an individual picture, movie, or audio track. The media
player can detect and index media on external USB devices, as well
as UPnP devices on your network.
* A user interface for connection management and an updated
connection manager (ConnMan).
* And, of course, support for Linux desktop applications.
Moblin is built using GNOME Mobile Technologies and supports
existing Linux desktop applications.
From here on out, we will focus on performance, bug fixing, fine
tuning, and polishing. We post beta builds weekly in the download
area.
Moblin images should work on Intel based Netbooks and Nettops, we've
been testing with the following platforms: Acer Aspire*One, Asus
eeePC* 901, 1000H, Dell Mini 9, MSI Wind, Lenovo S10, Samsung NC10,
HP Mini 1010 and 1120NR (wired networking only for now)
