Will freedom ring on LiMo's Linux-based mobile platform?
,----[ Quote ]
| Although I have significant doubts about the willingness of the carriers to
| do the right thing, it seems like the underlying technology of the LiMo
| platform has the potential to deliver a lot of value. Schlesinger makes a
| strong case for a community-driven development approach, something that he
| says is lacking in Google's Android strategy.
|
| "Carriers and device manufacturers do not like being caught up in a duopoly
| of proprietary mobile operating systems," Schlesinger said. "Open source lets
| us better leverage our finite developer resources. You can get more done
| working with a community than you can with a proprietary model, always."

| kernel. By contrast, the LiMo Foundation is aiming to build a de facto
| standard software platform that handset makers can use to create Linux
