Industry Perspective: Bill Weinberg, Mobile Linux conference head
,----[ Quote ]
| On Linux’s mobile traction: Linux is doing very well in mobile. There’s a lot
| of phone shipping; lots of different stacks that have Linux integrated to a
| greater or lesser extent. The ones that are most prominent are, of course,
| the consortium-based LiMo stack, the Android stack from Google and the Open
| Handset Alliance and then other Java stacks like the JavaFX and NEC. In
| parallel with these community and consortium-based entities that are building
| either their individual phones or individual platforms based on Linux are the
| companies that are typically members of these other consortiums. So you have
| Access, Zingo, Palm even has their own – there are eight or nine of them, all
| consolidating around the APIs and feature sets that are predicated by these
| community or consortium-based platform definitions.

Windows Mobile Sales Lower Than Expected
,----[ Quote ]
| Android phones, like the iPhone, are likely to appeal to the consumer market
| more so than enterprise users, which has traditionally been Windows Mobile's
| target. However, that could pose a problem for Microsoft. Hughes recently
| noticed an increase in the number of companies that don't dictate which
| phones employees should use, instead allowing them to make their own buying
| decisions.
