3D TV, Android, In-flight internet, Tablet PCs. The future is not so far away anymore

| Most of these new offerings have one common
| element, Open Source software. This has
| enabled such rapid speed to market.
|
| The vast majority of the solutions at CES
| have embedded Open Source software. Three
| Open Source Software features drive this
| trend:
| - Cost; if you can lower the cost of
| manufacture, you have a more competitive
| offering.
| - The simplicity of Open Source software
| legal contracts and terms of use. Most
| organisations now fully understand how to
| properly integrate Open Source software
| into their offerings and can bypass long
| and tortuous negotiations with proprietary
| software vendors.
| - Finally the sheer scale and pace of
| innovative contribution that is harnessed
| through the Open Source community.
|
| Remember, it was only a few years ago that
| consumer technology vendors were terrified
| of using Open Source in their offerings.
| Today, if you don't, you lose.
