LinuxInsider: What is the current market situation for mobile Linux and open phones trends?

Benoit Schillings: The market is very exciting right now and growing rapidly. With Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Latest News about Nokia and Palm’s (Nasdaq: PALM) Latest News about Palm recent announcements in support of Linux, we see a lot more promise around the growing shipments of Linux-based devices in the marketplace. We also see a lot of interest in driving innovation around new sets of applications with the availability of open phones. If people could customize their own phone like they can with laptops and PCs, I think you would see a lot more happy mobile phone subscribers out there.
