By the way, don't forget that: 1. Android is Linux. 2. WebOS is Linux (Palm left their proprietary OS). 3. iPhone is BSD. 4. ...and not only Nokia's Maemo is Linux/UNIX based.... (iPhone is half "closed", "thanks" for the liberal license of BSD, but even iPhone is much more UNIXish than the old proprietary OSes - PalmOS, Windows Mobile, etc.). With Microsoft giving up their "Mobile" (they gave their OFFICE sources to Nokia to help the Maemo to win against Apple/Google), UNIX/Linux is gaining a world domination in a yet another field, with all of the four favorite OSes based on UNIX/Linux (I assume that it's only a matter of time till Symbian is replaced officially by Maemo. Maybe years, but we are not in rush, and can't wait even 2-3 years for the world domination). -- Eli Marmor mar...@netmask.it CEO, Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-5237338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
