| Source: Xandros, Inc.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - Xandros today announced it is developing
software products based on the recently released Moblin Version 2 project
for Intel® Atom™ processor-based platforms. The new version of Moblin
will enable Xandros to provide customizations with advanced Internet,
media, social networking and graphics capabilities for the ASUS Eee PC. A
turnkey Xandros software solution employing new Moblin v2 technologies will
be demonstrated for the first time at the Intel booth at Computex, Taipei, Taiwan, June
2-6, 2009.
The Eee PC defined the netbook revolution by combining fast boot, low-power
technologies together with a next-generation user interface. Moblin v2
enables Xandros to further enhance the Eee PC user experience by delivering
advanced graphics capabilities such as drop shadows, spin, bounce and 3D
animation that are universally available to all applications. By combining
core Moblin v2 technologies with Xandros' own proprietary technologies to
provide social networking, multimedia content management, PIM, Web, and
other services, Xandros will exceed the needs of today's consumers and
provide advanced next generation touch-friendly applications specifically
designed for netbook and mobile computer users. All Xandros Moblin v2
solutions include a rich graphical user interface and an integrated
application store with "click and run" access to additional software,
games, multimedia and web applications for mobile devices.
"By employing Moblin Version 2 in its future products, Xandros will be able
to deliver new, compelling user enhancements to Intel® Atom™
processor-based devices such as the ASUS Eee PC," said Doug Fisher, vice
president of Intel's Software and Services Group and general manager of the
System Software Division. "Xandros was an early adopter of Moblin
technologies and we look forward to its offerings based on the new,
community driven platform for Intel Atom processor-based systems."
"The new Moblin 2 for Intel® Atom™ processors provides the foundation
to build dynamic interfaces with integrated social networking, to satisfy
the media-rich lifestyle of today's mobile users in a timely manner," said
Andreas Typaldos, CEO of Xandros. "Working with ASUS on products like the
ASUS Eee PC has demonstrated the wisdom of creating Linux-based 'netbooks,'
and we are excited to be working with the Moblin v2 palate to further
enrich the user experience."
