IDF 09: Intel demos Moblin

>> Clara: So what I've come to say is that an early version of Mobile M TPM 1 actually running on a inaudible. As you are aware one of the biggest advantages we gain by using an Intel inaudible processor is the ability to re-use much of what we've already developed on the likes of Netbooks and Net tops. At the back of the stage, Mark also has one of these devices running the software. He's going to try out the software while I talk you through the key features. So this is the bios home screen. At the top you have the time toolbar which displays the time and date, the device status and specifications. The maintenance screen is displaying inaudible as you saw in the video earlier, this essentially surfaces all of your recently used content, such as network feeds, up and coming tasks and events, and you can also get shortcuts to your favorite applications. If we double tap on the time toolbar, it brings down an array of panels. This is inaudible panel which I'm going to come back to in a second. So let's just switch to the inaudible panel. Now inaudible inaudible we really care a lot about the people so here we have the dedicated panel just for your contacts where you can quickly and easily engage in a conversation whether that be via IM, by standard call, SMS, you can do it right from here, quick and easy, no problem. The next panel is status. This essentially allows you to broadcast to all of your station networks. Again, really quickly and simply you can just enter into what you're up to on a day to day basis and just send it off and post it to your social networks. I also want to show you the applications panel. This again gives you quick and easy access to all of your applications on your device. You can just come here and do a search or quickly just tap one of the icons and it will launch the application. And then finally, the inaudible panel. This allows you to really simply and quickly flick through any of your running applications which again is a real advantage with the platform that we have and that we can actually run multiplications, no problem at all. Let's pop onto the browser. This is a really interesting area as I was talking about earlier where we have actually reused much of what we did on the network so it has the same full internet experience so you have built within the inaudible engine. And the UI has been tweaked so that it's optimized for the small screen and obviously touch base interaction.

>> That's great. Now I told the audience Clara that we're shipping Morristown in the middle of next year. Will Mobile M be ready for that?

>> Clara: We'll be ready. No problem.

>> Well that's great thank you.

>> Clara: But in the meantime if you can experience Mobile M on netbooks, this example here and also in many of our booths downstairs.

>> Super. Thanks a lot.
