,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux revolution is making a run for the smart phone market. This isn't
| exactly new news. In fact, Linux started taking off in the cell phone market
| in about 2003. Major companies from NEC to Samsung are shipping phones loaded
| with the open source OS, though primarily in China, and Motorola seems to be
| slowly-but-surely letting Linux take over its hand-held line up. Certain
| versions of the RAZR 2, the ROKR, the SCPL, and the China-only Ming all run a
| custom version of Linux designed by Motorola.
