Intel Corp. has acquired Opened Hand, a London-based company which specializes in mobile Linux development and services.

"Opened Hand brings great expertise and technology in the area of user-interaction frameworks, improving Intel's ability to address the unique challenges of enabling cutting edge UIs for these new class of devices," a spokesperson for Intel told ZDNet.co.uk.

Intel will continue to support existing Opened Hand projects, including software library Clutter, used for GUI creation, and Matchbox, an open-source base environment for the X Window System. These projects will become part of the Moblin project.

Opened Hand, which has Nokia Internet Tablets, One Laptop Per Child, Openmoko, and Vernier as clients, will join the Intel Open Source Technology Center.
