Linux vs. Windows Mobile and Symbian: Which is best for mobile?
,----[ Quote ]
| Palm has announced its intention to migrate its Palm OS-based
| software assets to Linux. Apple is about to launch iPhone, which
| will run on OS X, a Unix-based software. Both companies have a
| track record of delighting customers with easy-to-use products
| that work out of the box without any extra work.
|
| If vendors such as those can leverage the ability to customize
| Linux devices with the ease of setup found with Symbian OS and
| Windows Mobile devices, Linux could easily catch on -- big time
| -- as a mainstream mobile platform.
