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.

Hehe. I can tell you the feeling I got from reading these comments. It looks (to me at least) like some of you Linux zealots are angry, because Linux is not used on phones so you must point out how you (a) don't need a OS powered phone or (b) how there are 3 (ok, 4) Linux powered phones on the market.
While obviously most of you are missing the point of this editorial. It doesn't matter how useless you think these things are, what matters is that the Linux community had a straight chance of proving itself on the mobile market and it failed.
