“With all the hype surrounding the launch of Google’s Nexus one
‘super phone’ yesterday was one of the biggest Linux phone releases
ever – or was it?“Google’s Android sits on top of Linux, but it’s my view that
Nexus One is not necessarily a good thing for the mobile Linux
community.“Remember back three or four years ago – before Android – and
there was a lot of talk from various groups LiPS, LiMO and vendors
like Motorola about Linux phones. The promise then was a truly open
ecosystem where Linux was the base that would help to make phones
easier to build and faster to develop applications.”
