Linux 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.

It's an editorial, and it shows. It lacks research and reference to sources. If $editor in question would spend a few minutes looking outside the limiting box she apparently lives in, she'd notice that sofar microsoft is hardly a player on the cellphone market, and is losing out bigtime in the generic embedded market....not all embedded devices need a GUI, yaknow.

Anyway, I have a "smartphone", and all I know is that it does something with Java. I couldn't care less what OS lies underneath it, and neither should you. It's a tool, not a religion.
