Linux Crashes the Mobile Party

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-not-that-kind-of-crash dept.

superglaze writes "ZDNet.co.uk has a fairly comprehensive feature on the progress being made by Linux for cellphones. Seems a pretty consumer deal for now, but there are some interesting hints of Linux eventually challenging Windows Mobile and Symbian in business use. The article also seems to suggest that the two big groups pushing mobile Linux could be amenable to a merger due to common interests."

      Maybe, but for the love of God, Don't tease a slasdotter with a subject heading that begins with "LINUX CRASHES...." I just about nearly had a heart attack upon reading those first two words.
