While most of the companies listed above are well-known names, finding a telco giant like Samsung is pretty uncommon. In November 2007 Samsung was working to bring Xen on PDAs. In June 2008 virtualization.info reported that the company was porting Xen on the ARM architecture. Virtualization may reach mobile devices soon.
