Coders now can try mobile Ubuntu Linux

Canonical on Tuesday released its first publicly available developer edition of Ubuntu for mobile Internet devices.

Ubuntu MID works on two devices at present, the Samsung Q1U and the Intel Crown Beach development station for building devices using the company's Atom processor. It also can be run on ordinary computers through the KVM virtualization software. A MID--a concept Intel is aggressively promoting--is a mobile device larger and more like a regular computer than, say an Apple iPhone, but smaller than an ultraportable PC.
