I don't think Embedded Linux alone has much of
a chance being "open" if a mobile vendor start
using it. It will become very specialised for
that vendor and hardly open.
3G has just started out, and I'm sure it will get better.
As long as WLAN doesn't support any kind of hand-over (between diffrent nodes) you will never
have any mobility with it. I would like to think
as WLAN as a extension to 3G not a competitor.
