Motorola sees Linux as its mobile mainstay

,----[ Quote ]
| Cell phones traditionally have used proprietary operating systems,
fragmented
| even among one manufacturer's products. Motorola and other vendors
have also
| opened up phone platforms through the Java and BREW software
environments.
| Linux will help to further expand the community of developers for
software,
| which is becoming an increasingly important part of mobile phones, said
| Christy Wyatt, vice president of ecosystem and market development at
| Motorola. The company has shipped about 9 million Linux handsets in
the past
| four years and is now extending the OS down from smartphones to midrange
| handsets such as the Razr2.
