It's what I get from this web-page and what I got from testing the 
original Moblin desktop.

IMO, they are targetting MID devices, competing with Android, Smart 
phones and similar.

That's a completely different audience as I am talking about: People 
using netbooks, nettops and old i386s as inexpensive, "secondary" 
machine for everyday, "low end" desktop usage, such as "browsing the 
web", "word processing", "presentations", "photo browsing" etc.
