[Posted February 16, 2006 by cook]

Mobilisled looks at the Access Linux Platform (ALP) from PalmSource, a Linux platform for mobile phones. "Major components include a standard, commercial-grade Linux kernel, an optimised implementation of GIMP ToolKit , GStreamer -- an open source, modular and multi-threaded streaming media framework and the SQLite embedded database engine. The company is also adding in a few extras of its own, including the NetFront browser, PalmSource messaging and telephony middleware, the PalmSource mobile applications including PIMs, multimedia, messaging and HotSync capabilities along with Palm Desktop."
