I'd say don't hold your breath!
I had high hopes for the moblin (meego now),
but i was dismayed to see the Intel effort spin & spin, then provide no
useful product!
what they did provide wasnt nearly good enough.
i was using a netbook (even more screen real estate than a smart phone)
{i had been using the Sidekick, from Danger, but wanted more useful
screen space},
and it was reduced to less than a 1/3 of total screen in useful space.
When moblin died, i bailed and have been using fc12 on my netbook since.
I am Much happier. My netbook, on a recent holiday, was the perfect
travel companion...
My only glitch was wifi reception in a B&B that was made of Really solid
wood( i had to work near the router).
A Real Nice place, http://www.hilo-hawaii.com/
Intel has certainly fallen from grace in my book...
just my $.0002, jackc...
