"Today, Verizon became the first US carrier to join the LiMo
(Linux Mobile) Foundation, a consortium of big-name mobile players
dedicated to building an "open and consistent" Linux OS for phones
across the industry. In teaming with the likes of Motorola, NTT
DoCoMo, Orange, Samsung, and Vodafone, the American mobile outfit
vows to offer phones built around the foundation's OS by the end of
next year."
