Motorola no longer on LiMo Foundation board

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

"Motorola decided to become an associate member this year and remains an active and contributing member, it said in a statement later. Motorola is no longer listed as a founder member on the LiMo Web site.

"As an associate member, Motorola is now ineligible to run for a board seat, a spokeswoman for the foundation said. In a consortium like the foundation, changes on the board are natural, she said. This year, SK Telecom and Telefonica were added to the board.

"Still, the loss of Motorola as a board member is a blow to the foundation, said Allen Nogee, an analyst at In-Stat. He expressed concerns about some LiMo members, including Motorola, making recent announcements supporting Android."
