What they really want is flash for linux/arm.
- blasdel 17y agoIntel absolutely does not want flash for linux/arm. They want every netbook to have an Atom in it, and flash support is by far their biggest weapon for doing so, even bigger than the ability to run Windows.
- ilyak 17y agoOh! What would moblin work on, arch-wise?
- m_eiman 17y agoSince they're talking about Atom in the article, at least it runs on the x86 family.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoMoblin originally was an Intel/Atom thing. They've sort of handed it over to the Linux foundation so you'd expect it to grow from there but while Intel have made that move to avoid looking predatory, you can't really expect them to put in the man hours for other architectures.
- wmf 17y agoIt's done; Maemo 5 includes Flash Player. That's not relevant to Intel, though.
- tuukkah 17y agoAt the moment, they say Maemo 5 has "full Adobe Flash™ 9.4 support". No Flash 10.0 though, perhaps that's not ported to ARM yet.
