A partnership disclosed last week by some of the leading cellular carriers and equipment makers intends to drive competition and innovation for new wireless devices and applications with a mobile LInux operating system planned for release next year. Mobile Linux will compete with directly with Symbian, the world's leading operating system for smart phones, and Windows. But the group, which includes, Japan's leading cellular carrier NTT DoCoMo, NEC, Motorola, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics, and Vodafone, has several challenges to overcome first.
The goal of a Linux-based platform for mobile devices is to lower development costs and provide a richer mobile ecosystem of devices and applications. However, Linux phones currently sold on the market are incompatible with each other and there isn't a single third-party application that can work across them all.
