LinuxNews.com: The ViewML From the Top of MontaVista

[ Thanks to mhead for this link. ]

“MontaVista, developer of Hard Hat Linux for embedded devices,
and Century Software, a Web-to-host desktop and networking
developer, have joined forces to create “the first
freely-available, Open Source Web browser targeted specifically at
the embedded Linux platform,” according to a joint company
release.”

The browser, ViewML (Viewable Markup Language), accelerates
development and deployment of browser-enabled devices, such as
hand-held computers, navigation systems, smart phones and set-top
boxes, the release explained….

“The X Window System, of course, brings great portability across
a vast array of machine architectures, and a large set of already
running applications. There has been a lot of work lately at
bringing the size of the X Window System down considerably for
embedded devices. For even smaller devices, and for applications
not desiring the complexity of X and all that comes with it, the
Microwindows Project is a great choice.”
