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."

    I could see OSX taking on symbian or Windows much faster than Windows in some cirles, even business. The iPhone really has the potential to be a great PDA and when it gets GPS (navigation) built in it among a few other features could truly be an all in device.

    All the others, including linux, still suffer in my eyes with ease of use and integration issues and will continue to have that into the future.
