First Linux phone standard ships (LinuxDevices)
LinuxDevices covers the completion
of the 1.0 Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) specification. LiPS is a forum
created in 2005 to create standard APIs for Linux-based cell phones. "In theory, standard APIs for Linux-based mobile phones, if
widely adopted, could enable operators to roll out services faster, while
enabling handset manufacturers to produce compatible new phones
faster. Other beneficiaries could be ISVs (independent software vendors),
mobile phone software stack providers, and of course, phone consumers, who
after buying a new phone could re-install purchased applications and
continue with existing services."

First Linux phone standard ships (LinuxDevices) Posted Dec 15, 2007 21:50 UTC (Sat) by Tet (subscriber, #5433) [Link] A standard doesn't ship. It would be better to say the standard has been released. As it stands, the headline implies that a phone based on the standard has shipped, which isn't the case.
