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.
