STRATEGY ANALYTICS: STRATEGY ANALYTICS Predicts Strong Growth for
Linux Handsets; Motorola and Google's Android Leading the Way
(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
RDATE:27032008
Boston, MA -- Mobile Linux is well poised to take on the surging
smartphone market according to "Mobile Linux: Google and Motorola Hold
the Short-Term Keys to Success," from the Strategy Analytics Handset
Component Technologies Service.
Mobile Linux offers an attractive package in terms of customization,
cost, developer community, time to market, security and multi chipset
support to handset manufacturers and mobile operators, according to
industry analysts Strategy Analytics. This report evaluates the current
status of the mobile Linux market and assesses the impact of recent
initiatives by industry players in the mobile Linux arena.
"Unlike the desktop PC industry there are more than 30 operating
systems existing today in the mobile phone industry, over 20 of which
are Linux-based," comments Sravan Kundojjala, Analyst at Strategy
Analytics. "This has been a concern for the industry, but recent moves
suggest consolidation is in the cards."
Stuart Robinson, Director of the Handset Component Technologies
service, adds, "Strategy Analytics believes recent initiatives by
Google and Motorola could solve problems like consistency of APIs, slow
adoption of mobile Linux in developed markets and fragmentation. We
also believe that interest in Linux is at an all-time high and that it
will emerge as a worthy competitor to market leaders Symbian and
Windows Mobile."
