14 DAY TRIAL // Plasma Active, a technology used to enhance the browsing experience on mobile devices such as tablets and other similar devices, is very close to being finalized and launched.
According to Karl Simons, a KDE developer, rather than the commonplace grid of applications, an Activity view shows a single project, task or idea, gathering all related documents, people, web sites, media and widgets.
By creating multiple Activities, a mobile device can be customized to respond effectively as the user moves between contexts.
KDE Plasma Active is based on Qt and KDE. This technology has been successfully installed on Mer OS, which runs on the ARCHOS G9 tablet.
ARCHOS G9 tablets feature Texas Instruments ARM Cortex A9 based OMAP 4 smart multi-core processors along with GPS, Wi-Fi and the ability to add a standard PC 3G stick.
Although the project is not final, the development team is in the final stages, and Plasma Active will be available for testing really soon.
