Though, they might be continuing to head off on their own with Midbrowser, but I'd hate to see the duplicated effort. And Midbrowser has a few rough edges I'd like to see worked out. Btw: I finally got Ubuntu-UMPC up and running on my Q1UP. Thanks for the demo you gave around that. I'm quite happy with it! Though, I'm also looking forward to the Raeon Everun Digital Note that work just ordered for me... and this December there's supposed to be a CTL 2go Tablet coming out (convertible tablet format netbook, with an Ubuntu option). Looks like the UMPC/Netbook market is finally giving me the options I like :-) I wonder if we’ll see Fennec on Ubuntu-UMPC too.

So even though I would not experience full moblin, video decoding would be a huge step. It could really boost linux toleration from some especially if xp does not get its act together and get some good acceleration going. I actually expect linux to develope into a more rebust system then xp. Unlike the past VIA cpus/ chipset I see there being considerable more interest and man power here. I guess it also helps that intel seems to be more open then VIA. Have not follow via recently but something about open source just does not seem to fly with Taiwan based companies. At least in the respect of openness and giving back. There are always the rumors of being more supportive of open source. Side question. Any one know how VIA is handling open source these days. I would imagine that they may need all the help they can get and maybe begrudgingly going more open source friendly.
