Qualcomm Adopts Linux for 3G Handsets
quan74 writes "According to an article at MacNewsWorld, it seems Qualcomm is the latest to add Linux to its handheld devices. 'By introducing Linux on the MSM, Qualcomm supports manufacturer partners who wish to leverage existing Linux applications, third-party developers and application catalogs to reduce their software development costs and improve time-to-market.' What I found interesting is that Linux will be the first third-party operating system supported by Qualcomm."
Actually it's MACNewsWorld, it's actually a web publication that started out about MAC addresses (the raw addresses used by Ethernet, and more recently 802.11 devices, to identify physical network connectors), but recently branched into discussing CDMA on the off chance that they might get more readers that way. It worked, they doubled their regular readership figure, getting six hits every month. Although three of those have Google searches in their Referrer: headers.
3G = 96ft per second squared. (29.4 m/s)
I'd hope a cellphone could take more acceleration than that (what happens if you drop it on concrete)
"Sinse" as in "sinsemilla," Spanish sin "without" + semilla, "seed" (itself derived from Latin, sine, "without," and from Latin semen, "seed." The slang spelling "sensimilla" is itself a misspelling. If you're going to smoke the stuff (I won't, I value my neurons too much), you should at least learn how to spell it.
