,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the lagging economy, smartphones remain a hot market, and open source
| phones are in the spotlight. According to research from Juniper Research
| telecom consultants, the number of smartphones shipped with open source
| operating systems will increase from 106 million this year to 223 million by
| 2014. Juniper's study found that open source operating systems and
| applications "are playing an increasingly important role in the
| differentiation of new smartphones and are a key factor in the choice of
| which handset to choose from by users." Juniper's findings are being echoed
| by other researchers.
