The release of HyperSpace is a continuation of Phoenix's alignment with the Moblin open source project for commercialization among OEMs and ODMs and promoting instant-on, always connected computing for mobile devices powered by Intel Atom processors.
Moblin v2 technology is the newest release from Moblin.org, an independent organization dedicated to the widespread adoption of Linux-based operating environments powered for Intel Atom processor based platforms. The combination of Moblin v2 and HyperSpace will result in a richer, more satisfying experience for mobile PC users. The award-winning instant-on, always available HyperSpace, which was released earlier this year as a download for laptop users and as an OEM product for netbooks, has revolutionized mobility by delivering instant access and all-day computing functionality for mobile users.
"Our alignment with Moblin(TM) technology means OEMs have a streamlined process for integrating Moblin v2 into new devices and meeting consumer demand for visually rich, dynamic, and instant-on computing," said Gaurav Banga, CTO and SVP of products at Phoenix Technologies. "Our long history of partnering with new technologies and helping our OEMs and ODMs integrate them into their devices makes us a powerful ally for Moblin. Now that Moblin v2 technology has been released and HyperSpace is aligned with this exciting new technology, we can begin working with our extended network of OEM partners to build deployment models tailored for their production demands and end user needs."
"Phoenix Technologies' latest HyperSpace solution can help extend battery life and provide instant-on access to Moblin v2 solutions for netbooks and nettops based on the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processors," said Doug Fisher, vice president of Intel's Software and Services Group and General Manager of the System Software Division.
