RealNetworks bringing RealPlayer to Linux-powered netbooks

Just like the rest of us, RealNetworks is finding it tough to ignore all the netbook hype--and they plan to do something about it. The company announced today that they've signed agreements with Canonical, Xandros, Phoenix, and DeviceVM to license RealPlayer for Mobile Devices for Linux-powered netbooks, including both Linux OS and upcoming Linux Instant-On OS varieties.That means the next Dell Inspiron netbook running Ubuntu could come with RealPlayer.
