“When I heard that we would see more Linux-based mobile
operating systems I didn’t think they would amount to much because
consumers seem to want products that work even if they don’t have
the most powerful functions (as we see with the iPhone). I am
pleased to now see that smartphone operating systems based on Linux
look to be the most powerful, customizable, flexible, and consumer
friendly of all platforms we see in the market. We are seeing some
wonderful devices running the Palm WebOS, Google Android, and Nokia
Maemo operating systems with the Palm Pre, HTC Hero, Verizon Droid,
Nokia N900 , and many more.”
