Linux in your hand; from geeks only to consumer friendly mass market

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is not new to the mobile phone world, 
| but in the past the majority of Linux-based 
| phones were sold in China or were feature 
| phones with âhiddenâ Linux builds, such as 
| the Motorola RAZR2 V8, MotoZine ZN5, and 
| Motorola ROKRs. Companies have taken the 
| power of Linux and are bringing that to the 
| mass market with these latest smartphones. 
| These Linux-based operating systems are 
| attractive to device makers because of the 
| free or relatively inexpensive licensing 
| agreements. We also see some of these high 
| end Linux-based operating systems being 
| quite open, primarily when looking at 
| Google Android and Nokia Maemo 5 and 6. 
| Palmâs WebOS is primarily a closed system 
| at this time.

Hands On Nokia N900 smartphone demo

,----[ Quote ]
| We managed to get a little quality time with the
| Nokia N900 smartphone running Maemo and Linux. This
| smartphone, sporting killer specs and 3G HSDPA for T-
| Mobile US and Europe should begin shipping in the
| next few weeks. Notice how quick the device is when
| switching between desktop screens and applications--
| the multitasking is very impressive thanks to 256
| megs of RAM and virtual memory that brings it up to 1
| gig of application RAM.

Nokia N900 Gets Full Review

,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N900 takes the functionality of the
| older Nokia Tablet devices and repackages them
| into a slimmed down PDA device that features some
| design similarities with the Nokia N97. So, we
| get a full QWERTY keyboard sans the tilted slide
| function, 3.5-inch touchscreen but with a higher
| resolution. However, the real added bonus is the
| powerful Linux Maemo OS. Needless to say, we
| canât wait to get our hands on especially now the
| first full-on reviews are appearing.
