LG Electronic (LG) and Intel Corporation have announced a collaboration around mobile Internet devices (MIDs) based on Intel's next generation MID hardware platform, code-named "Moorestown," and Linux-based Moblin v2.0 software platform. The LG device is expected to be one of the first Moorestown designs to market.
LG and Intel's common goal is to unleash rich Internet experiences across a range of mobile devices, while delivering the functionality today's high-end smart phones. The collaboration on the new design extends a close working relationship the two companies have enjoyed across their respective mobile products lines, which now spans the notebook, netbook and MID categories.
"The MID segment will drive growth at LG electronics. We chose Intel's next-generation Moorestown platform and Moblin-based OS to pursue this segment because of the high performance and Internet compatibility this brings to our service provider customers," said Jung Lee, Executive Vice President of LG Electronic and head of its Mobile Communications Business Division.-PR
