Embedded Linux makes more money for Taiwan and China factories
and retailers in the west than all of micoshaft and appil combined.
Over 3 million+ embedded Linux gadgets sold PER DAY EVERY DAY.
Adding Linux mobile phones is the next best thing to be doing.
The benefit is that retailers can specify what other features
their Linux smart phones must have and get it relatively
freely installed and shipped in the next shipment.
Unlike windummy and appil products, you are not paying
micoshaft/appil royalties for their limited and useless products
to keep their developers and marketing plops alive.
With Linux you have 20,000+ applications ready to run on
the Linux smartphone free as in freedom. Just pay
for the customisation work, and you get your product shipped within
a few weeks. Retailers who don't engage their product
development manager to go out there to the Far East
have missed / are missing the boat / and the money they
could be earning from Linux.
