Mobile World Congress: The final analysis
,----[ Quote ]
| Soon, it will no longer matter what handset you have if you want to use a
| certain application.
|
| It is likely that mobile Linux will play a major role in this shift. The goal
| of organisations like the LiMo Foundation is to standardise application
| development; operators want this because it means they can sell more services
| more quickly, and developers want it because it makes it more worthwhile to
| develop an application in the first place.

,----[ Quote ]
| "We were very aware that the growth in mobile for Linux was huge, but we
| didn't know it was so astronomic," Amanda McPherson, marketing director for
