News: 

Four manufacturers (Motorola, NEC, Panasonic and Samsung) together with two mobile operators (NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone) have announced their intent to establish a global, open Linux-based software platform for mobile devices. They intend to form an “independent foundation” to manage this new platform.

The companies aim to work together to deliver lower development costs, a flexible Linux-based platform and eventually, a strong development community.

To date Motorola claims to have shipped over 5 million Linux based devices (including the ROKR E2 and the A1200 / MING), while Panasonic claims to have shipped nearly 8 million Linux phones in to the Japanese market.
