Motorola Gets Serious About Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Last quarter, Motorola was the second biggest smartphone maker in the
| world, thanks largely to the million or so Linux-based smartphones it
| shipped in China.
|
| Clearly, Motorola has seen the writing on the wall, and is making a
| big commitment to Linux. In fact, this company is working to have over
| 50 percent of the handsets it releases in the future run Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| These Linux-based handsets are expected to cost between $100 and $300.
|
| [...]
|
| Motorola isn't the only mobile-device company making a big commitment
| to Linux. PalmSource is basing the replacement for the Palm OS on
| this operating system, for example.
|
| Other big-name companies that have released Linux-based devices in
| recent months include Sony and Nokia.
