,----[ Quote ]
| With deteriorating global economic conditions making their impact felt in the
| wireless industry, handset OEMs and mobile network operators are looking to
| Linux-based operating systems to cut costs and diversify their handset
| portfolios, reports IMS Research.
|
| While Linux-based operating systems have had a presence in the mobile handset
| market for years, growth has been slow and steady until recently. However,
| recent announcements from Motorola, Vodafone, HTC, and Huawei, among others,
| all stating that Linux-based operating systems will figure in to their
| upcoming handset releases, clearly demonstrate that OEMs and operators are
| ready to embrace Linux software on a larger scale, according to IMS Research.
