| | Motorola, currently the world's #2 maker of mobile phones ("handsets") with an estimated worldwide market share of 19%, unveiled a major shift in its embedded software strategy in Feb. of 2003, when it announced that its future handset designs would be based on an embedded Linux operating system and Java-based middleware. | | | Motorola selects Qt/Embedded for the A760 Linux smartphone -- [Oct. 31, 2002] -- Trolltech has announced that Motorola's much anticipated A760 smartphone will be based on Trolltech's Qt/Embedded application development framework. | | | Financial Times: Motorola plans to use Java and Linux -- this FT article points out that "The endorsement of Linux -- an open-source system owned by no-one -- will be a blow to providers of proprietary software, in particular Symbian,. |
