Too many platforms?
,----[ Quote ]
| So where is the massive diversity in mobile platforms? Right now, there is
| Android in smartphones, LiMo targeting smartphones, Maemo in personal
| internet tablets and Moblin on netbooks. And except for Android, they are all
| leveraging the work being done by projects like GNOME, rather than
| re-inventing the wheel. This is not fragmentation, it is adaptability. It is
| the basic system being tailored to very specific use-cases by groups who
| decide to use an existing code base rather than starting from scratch. It is,
| in a word, what rocks about Linux and free software in general.

Openmoko involves the community in hardware development
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems Plan B has now been revealed as Openmoko is inviting the developer
| community to not only tinker with the software and the casing design of the
| open smartphone, but it's also now releasing the hardware design of the
| FreeRunner (GTA02) for anyone to join in, under the codename gta02-core. The
| aim is to develop a modified and completely open phone hardware for the
| FreeRunner within the next six to twelve months.

The Enlightened future of OpenMoko Linux mobile phones
,----[ Quote ]
| I met lead Enlightenment developer Carsten Haitzler in the exhibition hall at
| the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) this past weekend. Carsten told me
| about prospects for the future of Enlightenment and shared with me some
| details about his work at OpenMoko, a division of FIC which is developing
| Linux-based open-source mobile phone handsets. He sees a big future for Linux
| in the mobile and embedded space and notes that Enlightenment, with its small
| memory footprint, is ideal for deployment on such devices.
