Nokia’s open source Symbian is no match or threat to Linux mobile, Linux
Foundation claims

| Finally, mobile Linux has it all over Symbian in green computing, he
| added. “Efforts to reduce power consumption in a large data center will
| benefit battery life on Linux mobile devices,” Zemlin said.

Nokia and the battle for open source’s soul
,----[ Quote ]
| The Finnish giant had, until now, kept out of the major alliances being
| formed in the mobile Linux space--the LiMo Foundation and the Google-led Open
| Handset Alliance (OHA)--because it could afford to. Enjoying 40 percent of
| the global handset market, and holding the largest stake in the
| market-leading Symbian platform, Nokia did not have to be quite as reactive
| as other manufacturers when it came to the open source revolution. It was,
| however, inevitable that it would join the revolution and, after a suitable
| period of observer status, it chose the right time to do so.

Open source calls the tune for phones
,----[ Quote ]
| The iPhone has been getting most of the global publicity but it is Nokia that
| has been storming ahead - increasing its global market share to around 40%.
| To put it in perspective, Apple's target in its first whole year of 10m
| phones is only a third of the increase in Nokia's sales in only the first
| three months of this year.

Coming Battle Over Open Source Phones
,----[ Quote ]
| It's about getting the whole industry on one platform. For
| developers, that's profoundly important. LiPS was more like an industry
| standards body. They would write specifications and other companies would
| create the technology, whereas LiMo really produces the software platform …
| everything you need to build a handset.
|
| The deal will close in two weeks. Most of the existing LiPS companies will
| join LiMo, and its intellectual property will be transferred in as well. We
| will be able to use that straightaway.

Mobile Linux Groups Join Forces
,----[ Quote ]
| LiPS was working to create a standard that would define APIs (application
| programming interfaces) for developing applications to run on a mobile Linux
| kernel. By contrast, the LiMo Foundation is aiming to build a de facto
| standard software platform that handset makers can use to create Linux
| phones.
