Intel officially releases Moblin 2.0 beta

Moblin 2.0 has a number of new features, including an entirely new user interface dubbed MyZone that shows the user's recent activity, calendar and to-do list.

Other changes include a new web browser based around Mozilla's technology in a Clutter shell, and a media player that allows users to zoom in on particular media pieces for more data.

"We would like to invite and encourage everyone to test the beta," said Imad Sousou, director of the Intel Open Source Technology Center.

"We feel the code has reached a level where both developers and enthusiasts can play with it. While fine tuning, bug fixing, and polishing is ongoing, so is performance improvement, all of which you should start seeing rolled into the weekly builds."
