Intel is looking to expand its reach into mobile devices, and it showed off features of the next version of its Moblin operating system that may find its way into mobile phones and smartphones.
During the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, the chipmaker demonstrated the 2.1 version of its Linux-based OS. The company initially targeted the OS at its netbook lineup, but the latest version features phone functionality. Moblin 2.1 also has strong integration with calendars, social networking, and news updates, and it was reminiscent of what Motorola is trying to do with its MotoBlur service for the Android-powered Cliq.
Intel also indicated it wants to beef up its software to make it easier for developers to create applications for its platforms.
“We’re flushing out the software side,” said Intel CEO Paul Otellini at the conference. “In these new spaces, in [consumer electronics] and in handhelds in particular, and to some extent in netbooks, the Intel side of the world is lacking the viral apps development that you see, say, on the iPhone.”
