Star Google Rallies Allies in Open Linux Phone Initiative
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 5th Nov 2007 21:36 UTC, submitted by irbis
PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Google and 33 other companies have announced an ambitious industry alliance that will maintain a completely open source mobile phone stack. The Open Handset Alliance says phones based on its Linux-based 'Android' stack will reach market in as soon as eight months. The Android stack is based on 'open Linux kernel', the group says. It also includes a full set of mobile phone application software, in order to "significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services", OHA said.

You should come and see how it works in europe. We buy phones (totally unlocked), then we choose a telco.


That's not the reality in the United States.
