iMo and Android take different tacks to capture mobile market with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| "In a year's time, you'll have a LiMo-based operating system operating on 
| tens of millions of phones in Japan," Carlaw said. From there, he said, LiMo 
| phones should spread quickly to Europe and North America, driven by carriers 
| embracing the ability to quickly brand their phones and enable carrier-driven 
| features that can help differentiate them in the market and sell added 
| services.

Nokia looks beyond Symbian to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| With a 47.9 percent stake in Symbian, the leading mobile platform that it 
| co-founded in 1998 and which today powers some 206 million mobile phones, 
| Nokia has long championed it at the expense of rival platforms such as Linux.  
| 
| No longer.
| 
| The mobile-phone maker is increasingly selecting Linux for Internet-enabled 
| mobile devices, with its CFO declaring of Linux, "It's going to be terribly 
| important."

By all means, this is huge. It's not a total transition (Nokia already denies
it).
