| But perhaps the item with the most long-term impact on embedded and mobile 
| development is Linux. There’s always going to be a role for internally 
| developed operating systems that are explicitly designed for a specific bit 
| of hardware—they’re just becoming more capable, as seen by Symbian’s addition 
| of Java support to its Series 40 platform for mass-market devices.    
| 
| Nevertheless, it’s becoming clear that Linux is proving flexible enough and 
| robust enough to be useful as an embedded or mobile platform. For example, 
| MontaVista Software was able to talk up the performance of its Linux-based 
| Pro 5, claiming that it could beat real-time requirements in a number of 
| cases.    
| 
| Meanwhile, in recognition of the strength of numbers, industry players set up 
| the LiMo Foundation with the aim of promoting Linux as a platform for mobile 
| devices, and welcomed a second wave of members that ranged from carriers to 
| chip makers. Even Intel caught the community bug, releasing the latest 
| version of its Mobile Platform SDK as an open source project in July.
