Mobile Internet devices (MIDs) have been the focus of much work and talk from chip giant Intel, which says its Atom processor will fit nicely into these smaller devices. In a recent interview with the AP, Intel chief Paul Otellini says MIDs favor Linux. I’ve written previously about the opportunities for Linux in the growing device category ranging from these MIDs to ’subnotebooks,’ ‘UMPCs’ ‘netbooks’ or whatever other name we analysts come up with next week.
