Mobile Operating Systems: A Question of Choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Just a decade ago, not many people were aware of the revolution coming
| along their way. Ordinary people were thrilled with the new featurest
| hat Microsoft Windows 95 provided and Linux was still the choice of
| geeks. Fast forward 10 years: Even ordinary people carry extraordinary
| piece of hardware with them.
|
| [...]
|
| GNU/Linux, the preferred operating system of the developer community
| and geeks, is slowly paving its way towards the mobile devices.
|
| ...The obvious advantages of having Linux on your phone includes:
|
| - Since you have access to the source code, you're free to modify and
| enhance it.
|
| - Generally, Linux is considered a more secure operating system than those
| from Microsoft.
|
| - If you need support, there is no dearth of forums where people will be
| more than happy to help you.
