MontaVista to assist global mobile Linux-platform

MontaVista Software, a supplier of commercial Linux OS distributives, announced it joined LiMo Foundation. The company aims to support LiMo Foundation activity in distributing Linux platform for mobile devices. The LiMo Foundation non-commercial project was launched this January to create a competitive platform for Linux-based mobile devices to be available worldwide. LiMo-handsets are expected in the first half of 2008.

The cooperation with MontaVista Software will be a milestone in the LiMo project, believe the participants. Currently over 35 million smartphones by NEC, Motorola, Panasonic and other vendors are powered by MontaVista Mobilinux distributive. This is more than other commercial Linux-platforms have.
