I agree, if I can add "in the U.S. and Europe."
Asia is completely interested in Linux-based devices*, and I'm convinced that the Access Linux Platform (ALP) will find traction in that region of the world.
It's possible that ALP, after collecting a number of licensees in Asia, will return to prominence in the U.S. and Europe. I realize this is something of a long shot, but more unlikely things have happened before.
*Sharp's Linux-based smartphones, which are available only in China, have pushed this company back up into the top tier of mobile device makers.
