Get Your Moblin Netbook Development and Testing Toolkit On
What do you need to build, test and tune Moblin applications? Frankly, you can do everything by using tools from one source: Intel. A couple of examples are the Intel Embedded Software Development Tool Suite for Intel Atom processor and Intel Application Software Development Tool Suite for Intel Atom processor. Their components take full advantage of the Eclipse IDE. The Intel tools are commercial tool sets that are installed in addition, and on top of your preexisting GNU toolchain, from the Free Software Foundation.' They go beyond the GNU tools to focus specifically on Moblin development. This article will focus on the Embedded Software Development Suite and next month we'll discuss the Application Software Development suite.

When Designing for Moblin, Think Like a Mobile User, Part 2
Software designers ' particularly, those developing the user interfaces ' are realizing that Moblin-based netbooks and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices) are a horse of a different color than what you'll find a small laptop to be. While the hardware on a netbook or MID is obviously designed for mobility, it's the user expectations and use cases for the devices that really say 'I'm not a laptop any more.'
