Linux everywhere: mobile Internet devices and the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| The subnotebook is currently the dominant form factor in low-cost Linux
| computing products, but the range of possibilities extends far beyond that.
| An illustration of this point is Intel's expansive vision for Moblin, a
| Linux-based software platform designed for devices that use the company's
| Atom processors.

| A better approach, argues Dan Kohn, COO of the Linux Foundation, is to pick
| one set of standards that IT will support for calendaring, email

| What Android means for open source and Linux
| Linux already has a major presence on mobile phones, but the entrance of
| Google and the Open Handset Alliance — which has 34 member organisations
| worldwide — adds to the momentum.
|
| "We're a huge believer in diversity of options on mobile phones," Kohn of the
| Linux Foundation says. "Linux is already an important, growing presence
| there. I think having the Google software as an additional open source option
| is only going to accelerate that adoption."

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
