What mobile Linux is missing
While lots of people (including Paula) were ga-ga over the promise of mobile Linux as exhibited at Intel’s Developer Forum in Shanghai, I couldn’t help noticing that the devices shown were uglier than Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
This is a serious problem, not just for Linux but for anyone hoping to compete with Apple in the device market.
Design — which includes the user interface — is a tough nut to crack. It’s not easily done by a committee. It demands breakthroughs, unique genius, and thus (some might say) a proprietary attitude.
It’s interesting, then, that Intel chose to make this announcement (and that of its Atom chip) in Shanghai.
