The future is mobile. That much we know for sure. But it seems that the operating system world in this market is being rapidly taken over by --again-- Microsoft. The new smart phones are are using WinCE, Symbian or Palm. Linux has barely 1% of this new, smartphone market.

People starting saying "but I don't need this or that", but that's not the point because there are others who do (especially business men). And for these others, there is a NEW MARKET forming! And it was an open door for Linux to jump to the opportunity to dominate to this new market, but instead nothing happened. Now, it's -- again -- too late. Between Symbian and Windows, there is only a bit of room for PalmOS and the occasional Linux phone. Sad.
THANK YOU Dan! That's exactly the point!
