Have you looked at Banshee - this is a cross platform media player written in C# on Mono. This might provide you with core functionality you need for your engine or at least might give you pointers to creating a cross platform core. > I am currently downloading ubuntu... full desktop release... while the 600mb > has been downloading i started reading about ubuntu MID... and eventually > landed up here.... > > I noticed that in moblin you can either have a flash based ui., or a clutter > ui? In Moblin v1 we have a Flash based or Clutter based launcher. The rest of the UI is written in GTK+, and some apps maybe using Qt. In Moblin v2 the interface will be a mixture of Clutter and GTK+, but Qt and Flash will still be supported. So you have your pick of UI toolkits. > Can someone please give me some pointer and push me in the right direction? > also... instead of deploying my stuff directly on the device... can i use > microsoft virtual machine to create a virtual environment and install > moblin? Do you mean run XP on the machine, then a moblin distro in Microsoft virtual machine? I would expect performance to be very poor, and I'm not sure what you would gain from this? > any pointers on how i should use the mobile image creator to create the > platform for flash? + mono? I'm not sure if we have mono in any fsets or packages for Moblin.

Moblin hasn't moved to Fedora, we're now using RPM as the base packaging format. MIC should work on either Fedora or Ubuntu (it works on my Ubuntu 8.04 system) - if you hit problems in either distro please let us know. > I was having an issue running sudo image-creator yesterday.
