What next after SYMBIAN & Windows mobile??

LINUX! There’s a new excitement in the open source world. And all that buzz is about whether 2007 will be the year of the Linux-based mobile phone. NEC and Panasonic are said to be collaborating to bring out Linux-based 3G phones this year. And TurboLinux is said to have brought out a Linux operating system for mobile phones.

Linux is an Unix-like operating system. Its source code is available freely and was created as an alternative to proprietary Unix and Microsoft operating systems. It’s now taken on the form of a major movement and even has IT giants such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Oracle, and many, many others offering support to this huge worldwide community.
