Moblin est un projet Open Source qui se focalise sur le développement de logiciels pour les mobiles : Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), Netbooks et nettops. Le système d’exploitation est GNU/Linux. La version 2 est basée sur Fedora car Intel y préfère les paquets de type RPM.
Moblin à été lancé en Juillet 2007, si amélioré significativement en 2008.
Moblin 2 OS à été spécifiquement créé pour fonctionner sur les processeurs Intel Atom sur Netbook. En avril 2008 le projet à été transféré à la Fondation Linux.
Major components
* Moblin Image Creator (MIC): allows developers to create a custom Linux file system for a device. Using MIC, a platform developer can choose which components from Moblin they want on their device, build the target file system, copy all the necessary files to a USB pen drive and load it onto the target.
* Kernel: platform-specific patches to the Linux kernel and various other device drivers.
* UI Framework: screen interface and its underlying GTK-based framework, which uses the Hildon application framework.
* Power Management Policy: extending and enhancing existing Linux power management capabilities
* Browser: the Moblin browser is full-featured web browser based on Mozilla technologies with a finger-driven UI and MID UI integration. The Moblin browser supports key plug-ins like Adobe Flash.
* Multimedia: audio and video playback and photo viewing including Helix or GStreamer multimedia frameworks.
* Linux Connection Manager: Internet connections that can be extended through plug-ins to support various wired or wireless technologies.
