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.

There are quite a few linux phones in the works. Most of them will run Trolltech's Qtopia Phone, and will start being released in China first this year. And that's just the start!
There are also the Motorola phones that run linux, their own gui, and are available now.
The reason why linux hasn't taken off till now is that no one wrote a phone gui. It has taken Motorola a few years to release their linux phones. Likewise, it has taken Trolltech a while to create Qtopia Phone, which is only the gui system!
