Having read the Wiki now: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/History the details are clear. I guess anyone joining the community know isn't going to have a problem. It was just that I always had the Moblin builds as 'Ubuntu Mobile' in my head. Which is, in fact, more confusing that the terminology that has been chosen now.
The new naming makes sense: *Ubuntu Mobile* for UMPC's and netbooks. (Ubuntu+Gnome) *Ubuntu MID* for MIDs (Moblin+Hildon) All created by the Ubuntu Mobile team. It appears then that netbook remix is no more. Correct? It was interesting to read that Ubuntu Mobile might include support for Silverthorne/Poulsbo-based devices, which include MIDs. I think its a great idea. The only Poulsbo-based device i have myself is the Kohjinsha SC3 which is a 7" device running Vista and it badly needs Ubuntu Mobile!
