Here we go open source fans, the first debut of MeeGo 1.0 running on Intel silicon — an Acer Aspire One netbook (the 532h , from the looks of it) with a Pinetrail processor to be precise — sporting a simplified UI that looks to have inherited far more Moblin DNA than Maemo. You’ve got tasks, appointments, most-used apps, and a quick-launch bar all up front.

Additionally, with profits from machines built on Intel’s Pine Trail platform appearing lower than expected, both are also said to be contemplating AMD’s alternatives, presumably in the shape of the Neo CPU and Radeon integrated graphics .
