There's just something wrong with that line.]]>Jun 26th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/Jun 26th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/

Either way, I hope they don't flounder and die. More competition in the mobile arena is always welcome, and can mean only good things for consumers.]]>Jun 26th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/Jun 26th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/
D:

They won't fight apple cause they don't license their iphone os. They'll instead fight the Symbian Foundation.

You can hate nokia/symbian, I'm alright with that. But what really breaks my heart is when Symbian is ignored :'(]]>Jun 26th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/Nokia bought the small Norwegian company Trolltech last year.Trolltech developes programs in Linux for mobiles.
This competion is good for customers and even better if Nokia (in phones), Ericsson (in mobile systems) and Microsoft (not large in programs for mobiles,yet) will get more competion.]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://blog.draco-vulgaris.net/2008/06/26/lips-joins-forces-with-limo-foundation]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/

Is Access also part of LiMo now though?

On the desktop one of the main bennefits of Linux is the compatibility. I can choose any distro and any desktop environment and the apps I choose will work on it.

Phones should follow the same rule when doing a linux OS.]]>Jun 26th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/Jun 26th 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/
Palm OS Linux I've not heard of, and it seems mostly irrelevant.

Android is sandboxed, with the only supported method for doing anything being in Java. This forcibly keeps you away from the interesting bits of the system while giving the appearance of being open.

LiMo is similar, in that any apps (if there is ever a publicly available SDK) will be severly sandboxed in some fashion. In fact, LiMo seems to be developed largely as a means of limiting the GPL license to only the kernel, the rest of the software stack is as closed as it gets.]]>Jun 26th 2008 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/lips-and-limo-mobile-linux-groups-join-forces-acronyms/Jun 27th 2008 12:30PM
