The new version of arguably the world's most popular desktop Linux distribution initially targeted the Samsung Q1U though the OS also runs on Intel's Atom-based Crown Beach development system.
Ubuntu MID 8.04 is a developer release, but the software is expected to start to ship on commercial devices by the end of the year."
