| At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco this week, LinuxDevices spoke
| with Dr. Ari Jaaksi (photo at right), Nokia's director of open source. Asked
| if the combination of VoIP and Mobile WiMAX might cannibalize Nokia's mobile
| phone business, Jaaksi replied, "WiMAX could change the cellular landscape;
| however, it's a question of the maturity of the technology, and how it will
| be priced."

There's plenty more good news to come. Linux is apparently taking the world by
storm in 2007. The only think hindering its adoption at this stage is
corruption, which is easy to catch thanks to the openness of the Net.

Review: Nokia N800 now with Skype
,----[ Quote ]
| While I enjoyed using the Nokia N800 prior to the firmware upgrade, once
| having Skype installed made the unit made the Nokia N800 an almost
| indispensable tool carry around. Having the ability to make phone calls
| anywhere in the world from any location that has wireless internet was neat.
| Furthermore with a SkypeIn plan you can easily receive phone calls from just
| about any place in the world that has wifi. The addition of having Skype made
| the Nokia N800 a near cellphone like device.
