Linux for mobile devices
Mobile devices are becoming more and more
sophisticated
A version of the increasingly popular Linux operating
system Ubuntu will be developed for use on net-enabled
phones and devices
The Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded project aims to create
the open source platform for initial release in
October 2007.
Mobile firms such as Nokia are already using open
source technologies in some of its products.
Intel is keen to grab a slice of the fast growing
market for net-enabled phones and devices.
It has already endorsed another open source project to
develop applications for mobile devices known as the
Gnome Mobile & Embedded Initiative (GMAE).
An initial version will be released in October this
year.
