Desktop Signposts: Mobile Hot Technology for Blacks, Hispanics
,----[ Quote ]
| There has been a lot of debate on where the
| next desktop platform will actually reside. A
| lot of people in the Linux camp, myself among
| them, are pointing towards more of a
| mobile/smartphone-like device rather than the
| "traditional" PC platform.
|
| It comes as little surprise that when I and
| others make this argument, there is quite a
| bit of counter-argument that goes along the
| lines of: "you're just changing the rules of
| the game because Linux can never win on the
| true desktop. This is just fancy
| rationalization."

As the desktop reaches a less privileged populations
(like Brazil), GNU/Linux will grow. But nobody measures this.
