MontaVista Mobile Internet Device (MID) Solutions
Instant ON, Always ON, Always CONNECTED user experience for developers of mobile internet devices.
Consumer electronics, OEMs and ODMs are often challenged with building complete systems from the ground up. A pre-integrated framework like Android or MeeGo doesn't work for every design, so you find yourself integrating an operating system, middleware, applications and developer tools for one or more hardware platforms. This takes time to develop, integrate, and test, and in a rapidly changing market, this may be time you don't have.

MontaVista's solution for mobile internet devices (MIDs) can provide you a significant head start over the competition. With experience delivering complete software stacks for automotive, MID's, and other devices, MontaVista can provide a complete Linux-based framework with an integrated software stack including applications like a web browser, document reader, email client, contact manager, connection manager, calendar suite and more
