Linux more seriously moving in mobile phones

What to do to improve mobile softwares without taking the risk to support the whole development process? Gather your competitors and propose them a co-joint development, better, propose them to develop under the Linux open source platform so that anybody can contribute on it but won’t patent them.
Mobile industrials got it.
Mobile network operators Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo and handset makers Motorola, Samsung, NEC and Panasonic, said they would form an independent not-for-profit group to share the costs and speed up mobile software and handsets and cut the number of operating platforms on the market.
In term of potential applications, the decision means that Gizmo and other Jabber-based IM could be available on mobile phones, as Nokia recently ported Google Talk on its open source Internet Tablet N770.
Currently, Linux is trailing far behind Microsoft CE and Symbian operating system. That doesn’t mean you can’t cheer a bit; Linux for desktop computer was trailing behind Windows and Mac OS until the past few years, when HP, IBM, Novell and others decide to back it.
