Ubuntu MID version released

The Ubuntu team has released a version of Ubuntu for Mobile Internet Devices (MID) based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. The Ubuntu MID version is optimized for mobile internet devices that are increasingly being available on the market.

Maybe we should start the countdown on how long before someone starts installing Ubuntu MID on an Asus EeePC. It would be cool to see it running on the EeePC. And while you’re at it, why not the Nokia N810 as well.

Anyway, the Ubuntu MID Edition targets an exciting new class of computers called Mobile Internet Devices. Ubuntu MID, based on the world’s most popular Linux distribution, and MID hardware from OEMs and ODMs, is redefining what can be done in mobile computing.

Ubuntu MID Edition, a fully open source project, gives the full Internet, with no compromise. Custom options may include licensed codecs and popular third-party applications.

• Full Web 2.0/AJAX fidelity, with custom options of Adobe Flash®, Java, and more
• Outstanding media playback so you can enjoy videos, music and photos with superior quality and easy navigation
• A suite of applications that work seamlessly to meet every need of a digital parent, student or anyone who is on-the-go
• Facebook®, MySpace®, YouTube®, Dailymotion®, 3D games, GPS, maps, in short, the full Web 2.0 experience delivered into your hands as a compact and powerful device that’s easy and fun to use
