,----[ Quote ]
| Fragmentation is one of the most common complaints levied against
| Linux as a cellular OS and, at present, there is a relatively high
| degree of variation in Linux-based solutions when compared to other
| platforms such as Symbian or Windows Mobile, but this should not
| hamper the OS in the long term, according to research firm IMS
| Research.

| to emerging open source, Linux-based handset platforms, which
| looks set to become increasingly potent forces over the
