LiMo Updates Mobile Linux Platform, Verizon Wireless to Deploy LiMo Handset in 2009
Come on people... how many mobile OS's do we need?
OSX Mobile (iPhone)
Android (Google)
Symbian (Nokia)
Garnet (Palm)
webOS (Palm)
TouchWiz (Samsung)
LiMo
All of these OS's make it bad for developers who would like to write apps for the masses. Now they have to port it over to multiple OS's to maximize sales... but that will increase development costs.
OSX Mobile (iPhone) :Unix (FreeBSD Based)
Android (Google) :Linux Based
Symbian (Nokia) :Open Source
Garnet (Palm) :Linux Based
webOS (Palm) :Linux Based
TouchWiz (Samsung) 😛roprietary
LiMo :Linux Based
Blackberry 😛roprietary
Not a lot of variety really.
and besides, the Smartphone market everyday looks more & more like the PC market. Meaning you will have much more to choose from later on down the road.
I think its a good thing.
It's the same attitude that has people as "Is this all you have?" when you show them the 30 different phones you have in stock.
