Mandriva and Turbolinux Join Moblin, Create Manbo Labs

,----[ Quote ]
| What's particularly interesting about this announcement is once the Manbo
| engineers create these core components, they are delivered to the two
| sponsoring projects for further development, add-ons, and customizations.
| Mandriva and Turbolinux have hinted that more partnerships in Manbo Labs are
| on the horizon.
|
| Mandriva has a strong presence in the European open source market, and
| Turbolinux is the leading Linux vendor in the Chinese and Japanese language
| markets. These companies working together in the mobile/Atom-powered
| processor market is not only signficant because of the engineering and
| development services they can offer, but also due to the vast userbase they
| have already -- and can potentially reach.

,----[ Quote ]
| Dan shares a bit of his newfound knowledge and there's definitely some facts
| that I wasn't aware of. Things like:

| Â* Â* * Ubuntu Mobile is built with Hildon and Gecko.
| Â* Â* * Both initiatives have some some Intel backing or sponsorship
