Thing with Linux phones is they're using the same kernel code as in a desktop/server machine, albiet with embedded configuration options.

Linux is a more powerful platform, choice of numerous file systems, numerous desktop engines, open source so developers can alter things to suit and runs on all kinds of processors.
Look at how many wireless routers run it to see what's good about it. Tomtom Go is a Linux based device. Not many companies find Windows Embedded attractive due to source restrictions and royalty requests from Microsoft. |
