Rating: LiMo tastic kids!
They Say: The LiMo foundation, which was set up in 2007 and conceived to deliver and create a globally consistent software platform based upon Mobile Linux have announced the addition of Infineon Technologies, Kvaleberg AS, Mozilla Corporation, Red Bend Software, Sagem Mobiles, SFR, SK Telecom and Verizon Wireless as new member companies.
Set up originally by Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics and Vodafone this brings their membership to 40, all working together to collaborate on, and to produce a Linux based software platform for mobile devices open to the whole industry.
Said Morgan Gillis, executive director of LiMo Foundation.“This latest group of new members demonstrates the rapidly expanding reach of the LiMo ecosystem, and we are very excited by their commitment to further enrich the LiMo Platform and accelerate its adoption within all markets,” He continued, “It is now clear that LiMo’s transparent and participative governance model and total focus on the handset operating system-which are designed to avoid value-chain distortion-are proving to be very attractive to the whole industry.”
We say: I am an advocate of Linux in general. Much less now the baby of geeks, the development of LiMo can only benefit consumers and the industry alike. More LiMo handsets please!!
