Open Source in Mobile Computing, 2008
Hi I found interesting article about “Open Source in Mobile Computing”. Author of this article expects modest growth in applications and platforms during the next five years. Corporations should, however, avoid Linux as a Smartphone or PDA platform. Open source is still in niche but it has a good growth. We can see some fact and statistics about open source platforms in Smartphone and PDA. This article is trying to encourage network operators to use open source mobile applications because it will increase mobile innovation. We can find information about news like situation now in open source and different type of open source software. There is competition between Linux, Symbian and Windows Mobile they are trying to put their software in new products like mobile phones, PDA in different part of the world like Europe, Asia.
We can also find info about open source products like Java, Google’s Android, WebKit, server-side, Eclipse, WURFL database. Most users of mobile phones use platform which was already installed when they bought device and number of people with mobile development skills is limited so they don’t know how to replace software or install new software. The use of open source development tools like server, mobile and other applications will help to increase new standards.
It is really worth to read this article because it will help you to understand almost everything about open source.
