Rather interestingly, the UI seems to be designed for keyboard/mouse, or stylus (or then the screen needs to be very large for finger use). Can somebody smarter describe the intended target devices that Moblin is for? Are there some hardware examples already available?
It's always nice to have an alternative, isn't it?
It will, of course, largely depend on the hardware the thing runs on (battery life especially, but also size and weight). But it could be tempting because it's more the desktop-like full-power experience that I look for in mobile devices, while Maemo seems to aim more for the phone-like, casual use cases (in terms of marketing and UI, not in terms of what the OS is capable of).

Netbooks, netbooks, netbooks (pick any of the several million different models available).

This version of Moblin is for netbooks (not smaller screen MIDs). It should run on plenty of different atom-based netbooks.
btw, do they still use hildon? i found some references to it on pages about moblin published years ago, but the only current system overview i found doesn't mention it specifically.
