From what I read, the LIPS group is creating an 'open' standard. The
impression I got from that was the other phone standards group was
'closed' whatever that means.
If we are going to back a group, maybe FIC should join it and help in
the development process of the standard. None of the members are small
(as far as I can tell), and it does at least have the backing of some
operators..
Either way, we will need to either submit a standard at some point or
follow one so that others can interop with us.. Right?

Long overdue and if it is a standard then lets all jump onboard and
work with it from inside rather than throwing rocks from the outside.

Subject: standard API for linux phones?
the register has a piece about a draft of a standard API for linux
phones, concerning basics such as interaction with the address book,
texting, ui and voice-calling. future revisons to increase the
coverage
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/11/lips_mobile_linux/
and from TFA
http://www.lipsforum.org/
does anyone here have any further knowledge about this, beyond the
blurb on the site? is it worth adhering to, or a thinly-veiled
atttempt for one company (it's backed by orange) to foist
propietary/their own standards on everyone else? does it compare at
all to what the linux mobile group (backed by samsung, motorola and
others) are trying to achieve? and of course, has it been considered
for openmoko/the neo?
