New Toys: Interesting Mobile Linux Devices at CES
,----[ Quote ]
| The first smartphones based on Intel's
| Moorestown, the Mini 5 with Android and the
| Lenovo LePhone: the mobile Linux highlights
| from this year's Consumer Electronics Show.
|
| After Intel announced that it would optimize
| Moblin 2.1 as the mobile phone operating
| system, it was only a matter of time that
| actual devices hit the market. The CES in Las
| Vegas revealed that at least two companies
| announced such a device: the GW990 from LG
| and a smartphone from the Finnish startup
| Aava Mobile.

Superphone smackdown: Nexus One vs. Nokia N900
,----[ Quote ]
| For those who use T-Mobile in the US,
| choosing a new, unlocked smartphone isn't
| easy lately. The Nokia N900 and Nexus One
| both work on T-Mobile's US 3G network and on
| 3G networks in Europe and Asia. Each runs a
| sparkly new OS and has high end specs. I
| personally have a T-Mobile account and with
| both phones in house, find it hard to pick a
| favorite. From emails I've received, I know
| I'm not alone, so I've compiled a comparison
| list that might help you decide between these
| two superphones.

Smartphonesâ ecosystem dilemma
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is the Motorola Droid apparently
| gaining traction in the smartphone market,
| when Microsoft and Nokia are failing so
| miserably?
|
| The Droid, built on Googleâs Android mobile
| operating system, sold 250,000 in its first
| week on the market. Thatâs way behind the
| 1.6 million iPhone 3Gs sold in the first
| week after its launch, but itâs still enough
| for Motorola to see possible salvation after
| years of decline and for Google to feel
| self-congratulatory about its venture into
| mobile.

How Microsoft blew it with Windows Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Windows continues to dominate the
| PC market with a 90 percent market-share
| stronghold, but when it comes to
| smartphones, Microsoft is getting beat up
| worse than a mustachioed villain in a Jackie
| Chan movie.
|
| Windows Mobile has lost nearly a third of
| its smartphone market share since 2008,
| research firm Gartner reports. Windows
| Mobile had 11 percent of the global
| smartphone market in the third quarter of
| 2008, according to Gartner, and last quarter
| Windows Mobile's market share plummeted to
| 7.9 percent.

Windows Mobile loses nearly a third of market share
,----[ Quote ]
| The open-source Android operating system
| did not have any market share in Q3 2008,
| as it had only recently been introduced. In
| Q3 2009, however, it had a market share of
| 3.9 percent of the smartphone market.
| Palm's WebOS had 1.1 percent, and other
| Linux-based mobile operating systems had
| 4.7 percent.
