PR Newswire (US)
Founding Member of Lab's New Mobile Linux Initiative BEAVERTON,
Ore. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The
Open Source Development Labs (OSDL or the Labs), a global
consortium dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Linux(R), and
PalmSource, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSRC), today announced that PalmSource has
joined OSDL as a founding member of the Labs' new Mobile Linux
Initiative. PalmSource is the provider of Palm OS(R), a leading
operating system powering next generation phones and mobile
devices. PalmSource announced last year that it would build its new
applications framework on and port its Palm OS platform to run on
Linux. As a member of OSDL and an MLI participant, PalmSource will
work with other Lab members and the development community to
advance the use of Linux in mobile devices. The MLI will focus
industry and open source developer resources on Linux-based
operating system technical challenges, foster development of
applications for Linux-based mobile devices, deliver requirements
definition documents and use cases, and host complementary open
source projects that support the initiative. "PalmSource believes
that Linux has the potential to become a leading operating system
for mobile devices, and we are committed to accelerating that
process," said Michael Kelley, senior vice president of engineering
for PalmSource. "By joining OSDL, and being a part of the Mobile
Linux Initiative, we can work closely with Linux industry pioneers
to contribute to the on-going development and adoption of mobile
Linux." With more than 190 million mobile phone units sold in the
second quarter of 2005, research firm Gartner, Inc. recently
reported sales were up 21 percent from a year ago and it estimates
that there will be 2.6 billion mobile phones in use worldwide by
the end of 2009. As the mobile market continues to explode, handset
manufacturers are increasingly turning to Linux as a strategic
platform to deliver more capable mobile devices, increase
flexibility, speed time-to-market, and lower costs. "We are excited
that PalmSource has chosen to be a founding member of OSDL's Mobile
Linux Initiative," said Stuart Cohen, OSDL CEO. "PalmSource is a
welcome addition to the OSDL membership and will be a driving force
for growing Linux in the mobile device market." About PalmSource,
