Foundation Platform: Linux-based Mobile Applications Standard?
|
|
I recently came across on one article about LiMo Foundation which is established by Motorola, Panasonic, Samsung , NEC, NTT DoCoMo, and Vodafone to develop Linux-based, open mobile communication device software platform.
From its whitepaper, It seems that the goal of Foundation Platform is to develop a Linux-based Mobile Application framework similar to Sun MIDP/CLDP for its Java2ME platform.
The Foundation Platform also define a standard way to represent GUI on mobile phone using GTK+ library. This is to encourage application interoperability between devices and to enhance mobile application user experience.
Hopefully in the future , we can develop a portable Linux application that can be compiled and run on any Linux mobile devices with little or no changes. This would encourage the FOSS to spread across mobile devices too.

J2ME is well-established for mobile applications.. but it will be interesting to see another open source platform coming out..
