And when the carriers say Linux, shouldn't they be specific? Aren't there way to many flavors of mobile Linux? Confused
Agreed. Apparently no more than 30% of the code in a "Linux" phone is actually Linux. The rest is written by whoever provides the software. There's the chance for huge variation between different Linux phones - good for the manufacturers looking for differentiation in the market place but bad for carriers looking to simplify their support mechanism.
