All the recent talk about what devices will be powered by the Mobile version of Linux from Ubuntu has prompted a response from Ubuntu. They have stated that mobile phone based devices are basically not the target, that their partnership with Intel will mean a strong focus on MID's or mobile internet devices. The type of device one can carry with them, in pad or tablet format such as these devices listed on Intel's page.

While development continues, I personally expect much more cross platform usability. As with everything else in the technology world it may be up to the end users to develop and implement different packages for use on other devices. I think the future of LinMo is very promising and exciting.
