Nokia to skip operator tailoring for Linux phones
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia Oyj plans to skip tailoring software of its upcoming top-of-the-
| range model N900 to different operators, raising the risk some carriers,
| who focus on integrating their own software, could refuse to offer the
| model.
|
| Nokia's plan for phones using its Linux Maemo operating system is the
| latest twist in a battle between handset vendors and operators for access
| to cell phone users.

Linux To Regain 50% Netbook Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm sure some will dismiss Mr. Lim's projections as self-serving since Linpus
| is a Linux distributor heavily invested in the netbook market. It turns out
| Mr. Lim isn't alone in seeing Linux equal or even overtake Windows on
| netbooks. ABI Research sees it happening but they see it taking a bit longer
| than a year. They see Linux regaining dominance on netbooks by 2012. ABI
| cites ïthe arrival of low-end ARM-based netbooks as part of the reason for a
| Linux resurgence. They also cite the arrival of Linux distributions designed
| for mobile devices, particularly Android and Moblin. Windows doesn't run on
| ARM processor based systems.
|
| While ARM has been getting lots of notice in the tech press a Spanish company
| called iUnika announced the first netbook with a MIPS processor (pictured).
| Linux already runs on MIPS processors. The support dates back to MIPS-powered
| SGI workstations running Linux back in the '90s. Windows, on the other hand,
| doesn't run on MIPS powered systems.
