Coming Battle Over Open Source Phones
,----[ Quote ]
| It's about getting the whole industry on one platform. For
| developers, that's profoundly important. LiPS was more like an industry
| standards body. They would write specifications and other companies would
| create the technology, whereas LiMo really produces the software platform …
| everything you need to build a handset.
|
| The deal will close in two weeks. Most of the existing LiPS companies will
| join LiMo, and its intellectual property will be transferred in as well. We
| will be able to use that straightaway.

Mobile Linux Groups Join Forces
,----[ Quote ]
| LiPS was working to create a standard that would define APIs (application
| programming interfaces) for developing applications to run on a mobile Linux
| kernel. By contrast, the LiMo Foundation is aiming to build a de facto
| standard software platform that handset makers can use to create Linux
| phones.
