Linux based Palm's coming soon?
Added on 2007-08-23 09:53:00

Digitimes is reporting that Palm may be releasing new Treos based on the Linux platform as soon as October. Instead of using the Access Linux platform which is being developed by the company that actually bought the old Palm OS, instead indications are that they will be using a version of Linux developed by Wind River Systems. They are using the same platform to run their oft-maligned and potentially delayed Palm Foleo pseudo-laptop. We have to wonder if this is Palm scrambling to get a new platform out there as criticism of their offerings has ramped up over the past year.

Palm OS II Delayed

by Tanya Palta
 Palm Fanboys are in for a disappointment as its much-anticipated Palm OS II will not be released before 2008. The new mobile OS will be based on Linux as well as the Garnet OS.During a recent conference call, CEO Ed Colligan said "Products based on the new Linux-based platform that we're working on, that won't be until some time next year."
Colligan also put aside speculations that Palm will not focus on Windows Mobile.
"We see Windows Mobile particularly playing more strongly in the enterprise, medium businesses, and internationally, and our Palm OS products being more consumer based," said Colligan.

Motorola Unveils Razr v2
Added on 2007-05-15 09:01:00

 Motorola today announced the Razr v2, the newest addition to its Razr lineup of cell phones. The v2 has a large 2" external display that sports innovative haptics technology which simulates the feel of a real button press on the touch sensitive display. It will be available in CDMA/EVDO and GSM/EDGE/HSDPA versions this summer.
The Razr v2 is 2mm slimmer than previous Razr's and some (not all) versions will run Motorola's Linux/Java platform (finally a new OS!). We assume that the some means that Verizon users will be stuck with BREW again. The v2 has a 500 Mhz ARM processor, USB 2.0, software that automatically turns up the volume when you are in a noisy area and text to speech capabilities. It also sports 2GB of built in memory (or 420MB depending on the version), A2DP for stereo bluetooth and syncs with Windows Media Player. More after the jump.

Ubuntu To Be Ported to Mobile Platform
Added on 2007-05-08 09:51:00
by Alfredo Padilla
 Ubuntu, one of the more popular desktop Linux platforms will be ported to mobiles by the end of the year. Linux handsets currently hold the 2nd highest market share of smart phones globally, behind Symbian based handsets, and we imaging that moving a popular and standardized platform to mobile phones will only boost their share. Details are sparse though, and it is still being questions whether this mobile version of Ubuntu is going to be for cellular phones or larger internet tablet devices. We should see the new mobile edition of Ubuntu this October in conjunction with an update to the desktop version.

Palm Looking Into a New Linux Based System
Added on 2007-04-10 11:36:00
by Rusty Weiss
Palm is looking to implement a new operating system based on Linux, which will combine features of the Garnet OS and Linux.
Because of Palm’s licensing rights over Garnet, they can use this code freely in their mobile devices. This includes integrating Garnet partially into another source code, such as Linux.
This merging of the codes affords Palm the opportunity to perform higher-end multi-tasking applications. Running voice and data tasks concurrently on Palm’s Garnet based devices is not possible.
Palm’s open source technology merger should be released later this year.

Grundig Set to Release New Linux Mobile Phone

  This month, Grundig is rumored to release the U900, a new UMTS phone based on the popular Linux OS. This clamshell form factor phone will feature FM- radio capability, a 2"QVGA display, 100MB of internal memory, a MicroSD card slot, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a music player supporting MP3 and AAC formats, and read/write video capability according to the Grundig team during phone demos at the recent 3GSM World Congress show held in late February. Battery life does take a hit with all this functionality, it offers only 2.5 hours talk time but does have 220 hours standby time.
This will be one of the first phones to run on a single core, single chip analog architecture, pioneered by Berkana Wireless (now Qualcomm) and Silicon Labs. The "brains" of this phone is an NXP ARM9-based SoC (system-on-chip), using VirtualLogix platform virtualization technology.
The orange color is quite unique, even though the design is not. No matter what it looks like, we predict it will be popular with Linux fans.
