"LIBERTYVILLE, Ill, TOKYO, YOKOHAMA, Japan, SEOUL, South Korea and NEWBURY, England --15 June 2006 -- Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics, and Vodafone announced today their intent to establish the world’s first global, open Linux-based software platform for mobile devices. A world-class Linux-based platform aims to provide key benefits for the mobile industry including lower development costs, increased flexibility, and a richer mobile ecosystem - all of which contribute to the group’s ultimate objective of creating compelling, differentiated and enhanced consumer experiences."
Can mortal enemies work on the same project without it blowing up in their face? Michael Mace doesn't seem to think so (see source link), which would be good for Windows Mobile. Personally a linux-based OS seems to be far more complex a subject than I believe manufacturers currently think, but then again, more heads in the game could mean better results.
