Intel just hired a boatload of new Intel OSTC (Open-Source Technology Center) developers with lots of mobile experience.
When Nokia announced they would be banding together with Microsoft for their smart-phone platform and effectively doing away with MeeGo, many viewed this as a great loss for Linux. While Nokia has abandoned Linux for their phones and tablets, it was to Intel's gain. The dozens (circa 80) of developers Intel has just recently hired for the OSTC are former Nokia developers out of Finland. There's a couple well-known names in the mix.
These developers to be starting soon for Intel for their open-source group were working on MeeGo / Maemo at Intel. Several of these developers have graphics expertise and worked on the PowerVR Linux blobs; the Nokia N900 has a PowerVR SGX530 core, for example. What these developers will be doing for Intel OSTC though isn't publicly known at this point, but should emerge in the coming months. Regardless of whether it's for an open-source PowerVR driver or not, the work should be interesting.
Donc, tout espoir n'est pas perdu ;)
