Moto Linux powered handsets in 2005
According to LinuxDevices.com, Motorola will launch 8-10 Linux based handsets in 2005. This would constitute roughly one quarter of Moto’s new handsets in 2005.
That’s cool. Not so cool, however, is this dorky quote from Jim Ready, the CEO of MontaVista (makers of Moto’s Linux distro):
[Motorola's] ability to pop out three phones based on the same OS is making people in the industry say ‘Oh sh*t, how’d they do that?
Three phones, or even eight or ten, based on one OS, Jim? Have you seen how many Nokia cranks out based upon Series 60/Symbian?
