Report: Open Source Smartphone Shipments to Double By 2014

Despite the lagging economy, smartphones remain a hot market, and open source phones are in the spotlight. According to research from Juniper Research telecom consultants, the number of smartphones shipped with open source operating systems will increase from 106 million this year to 223 million by 2014. Juniper's study found that open source operating systems and applications are playing an increasingly important role in the differentiation of new smartphones and are a key factor in the choice of which handset to choose from by users. Juniper's findings are being echoed by other researchers.


Nokia Gets a Cool $630 Million from Europe to Spend on Symbian

Nokia has just reported that it has received a $630 million loan from the European Investment Bank to help it develop the Symbian operating system and stay relevant in the increasingly competitive mobile operating system war. Looks like Nokia's move last summer to buy out the remaining shares of Symbian for $410 million was more prescient than many people realized. Along with that move, Nokia also put the Symbian operating system on an open source course. Just this week, at the Mobile World Congress in Spain, vendors lined up behind Symbian, LiMo's Linux-based operating system, and Android. $630 million is a lot of money. Will it change Symbian's fate, and how does it affect LiMo and Android?

The First Android Phone: Reactions and Predictions

So the details are in on the T-Mobile G1--the first phone based on Google's open source Android operating system. It's got some interface attractions not found on the iPhone, including a trackball and a slide-out keyboard, and it ties in with a broad range of Google's services, including StreetView, Google Maps, Gmail and more. At $179, it's cheaper than the iPhone, but it has some disadvantages in comparison, especially the fact that T-Mobile only offers 3G service in 21 cities. Let's not forget that this phone runs an open source platform though. Here are some thoughts from the LiMo Foundation, and predictions.
