Intel welcomes Mobile Internet Device (MID) manufacturers, OSVs, and ISVs to join the Mobile Internet Devices Tools BETA program, which is open until Q2-2008 for companies who have a CNDA (Corporate Non-Disclosure Agreement) with Intel in place. The tools package contains all components to optimize MIDs, system and application software on performance and battery life. New, fully GUI-driven debuggers help to shorten the development cycle – from board-bring-up to C++ high-level language debugging with full Linux* OS awareness.
