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.

> or anything else that is embedded.

You AGAIN missing my point that I made clear above. A phone is not the same a PDA or a self-run NDS/iPod/PS2. Phones have contracts. Phones work with carriers that each has its OWN quirks. And in fact, even the PDA versions of Familiar are not supporting all functions of iPaq and battery usage is worse than Windows.

> and in your realm of knowledge

Your tone is unacceptable and unfair. You don't know what I know and what I don't, because you don't know me. I am very familiar with Linux's (and other OSes) usage in the embedded space.
