Motorola's Linux Phones Frustrate Developers

Posted by Zonk on from the play-nice-with-the-penguin dept.

n8willis writes "Three years after Motorola first announced it was migrating its smart phones to Linux -- and a dozen models later -- there are still virtually no third-party applications for them, much less open source ones. Symbian and Microsoft both give away free SDKs to all willing developers, but Motorola seems to be putting up hurdles instead. An article on NewsForge asks why is this the case?" NewsForge is a Slashdot sister site.

    I think the explanation lies in the Fifteenth Sphere, near the Raalm of Unmitigated Hardware Fuckups. Here we have such extraordinary achievements of universal engineering as the Penis-Destroying Metal Zipper, NVidia cards and Cher's music career.

    It is very clear that Motorola is run by people who like to fuck dogs. Well, we shouldn't be surprised, as Donald Trump and Jan Michael Vincent frequently go there for homosexual trystes in raspberry dacharies.
