Mobile Internet Experience

Mobile Internet Experience (MIE) was a new user interface (UI) and home grown Linux for the HP Mini 1000 netbook. It is in many ways similar to Canonical's Ubuntu Netbook Edition. The UI has been developed on top of Ubuntu Linux distribution by HP specifically for the new netbook. The home screen is what the user sees when logged into the machine and on that screen the user has all the important information presented to them. On the left of the screen the users emails are shown, in the middle at the top there is an input box that acts as search box or as an input box that user can use to input URLs. Right below the input box is thumbnail images of four favorite web pages (similar to the fashion Opera web browser shows its speed dial). To the right of the screen the top is used by a media player, so you can listen to you music and the controls are presented to easily changing a song. Right below the media player is a photo viewer. The MIE also comes with a tabbed interface for accessing other bundled applications similar to Asus EeePC's custom interface for Xandros Linux.
