Chip maker Intel has announced a new edition of Moblin which is designed for mobile phones and runs on an Atom based handset reports an article over on engadget mobile.

Apparently the interface has now been redesigned for handheld use and features quite a bit of widget based social networking integration along with a panel based navigation system which enables the user to “flip” through multiple running apps.

The handset was demonstrated running on a MID and so far there is no inclinations as to when this new Moblin 2.1 for mobile phones may ship.
