| Why would you want to do this? Well, you could create a phone that works off 
| a manufacturer's legacy OS, but can also support Linux, which is fast 
| becoming a favorite of mobile developers.

Nearly 20% of Mid- and High-End Mobile Devices Will Run a Linux Operating
System by 2013, According to ABI Research

| Linux, which has been much maligned by Symbian and Microsoft as a non-starter 
| in the handset operating system market, is set to see strong growth as issues 
| with framework fragmentation and silicon requirements are alleviated. The 
| growing momentum behind the LiMo Foundation initiative, as well as the 
| marketing boost that has been realized from the entry of Google’s Android 
| solution has been further enhanced by Nokia’s support of the Maemo solution 
| and its purchase of Trolltech. ABI Research believes that by 2013, nearly one 
| out of every five mid- or high-end mobile devices will use a Linux operating  
| system.

| The idea is to get developers on board early, so that tons of Android

| Eventually, The VAR Guy suspects, Android devices will easily leapfrog 
| iPhone’s market share. But that’s not a terrible thing for Apple. Although 
| Apple nearly died on the desktop, Apple’s more recent innovations prove that 
| you can thrive even when you hold less than 10 percent of a technology 
| market.
