“Mobile Linux is an OS for diskless mobile systems. It is ROM
based with a low memory footprint and it claims to have innovative
power management features. It is Linus Torvalds’ new baby and you
might like to think of it as Linus’s answer to Windows CE.”
“…in our view the most interesting aspect of all this is that
Linux has now stepped forward into the mobile world in a very
meaningful way. Unless battery technology suddenly and
unexpectedly improves, power management is going to be the
determining factor in the mobile market. What we see happening
with Transmeta is the birth of a company that could easily become
one of the major players in the revolution that mobile technology
is going to create.”
