Smart phones get their smarts from open source

,----[ Quote ]
| My blogomaniac buddy Alan Shimel recently posted 
| a piece arguing that Android, the open source 
| darling of the mobile world, looks pretty small 
| against the elephantine overall mobile market 
| whichodence-droid comprises mostly un-smart 
| phones. Despite that, he points out that 
| recently open sourced Symbian "is a major force 
| in the traditional handset OS market." 
| Substantiating the point, Tony Bradley writes 
| for PC world, "Symbian has nearly as much market 
| share as the rest of its competitors combined--
| including the iPhone, with more than 330 million 
| Symbian smartphones in use."

Google Denied Trademark for 'Nexus One'

,----[ Quote ]
| Google's attempt to trademark the term "Nexus 
| One" for its Android smartphone has been 
| rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark 
| Office, as it was deemed too similar to a 
| related term.

Desktop Linux without the desk.

| Now all we need is a Maemo 5 port of Gnumeric
| for spreadsheets. Since thereâs already a
| version for previous-gen tablets that
| shouldnât be too hard, should it?
|
| As stated off the top of the post, this is
| but a taste of the wondrous FLOSS apps
| available for the N900. If thereâs something
| specific that youâre looking for leave me a
| comment below and Iâll see if itâs availableâ
