PC World: Mobile Linux Takes Center Stage at OSCON

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Robert Strohmeyer reports on the Open Mobile Exchange track at OSCON and Zemlin’s keynote this morning.

“While server and desktop systems remain a key focus for open source developers, many at the conference see mobile devices as a major opportunity for growth of the Linux platform. In his opening talk, Zemlin attributed much of this enthusiasm to a the convergence of important technical and business considerations. On the technical side, said Zemlin, Linux presents developers with a flexible platform that makes it easy to launch new software products quickly. It also now enjoys a wealth of new development platforms, including the much-touted (but somewhat delayed) Google Android and Trolltech’s Qtopia. Additionally, Linux runs readily on a wide variety of CPUs and devices.”
