Linux smartphone axed (the Inquirer)
The Inquirer reports
that the Access Linux Platform (ALP) smartphone will not be released as
planned. "In case you are left wondering what killed the first ALP
smartphone, all clues point towards LiMo, the Linux Mobile Foundation and
its pet project. The reply came from Edelman, Orange's PR firm, which also
told us to contact Samsung and Access directly, but stated: "just so you
know the Samsung i800 has been withdrawn. Since the original project was
defined back in February there have been a number of advances in mobile
technology.""

Another platform down the drain? Posted Jul 31, 2008 0:11 UTC (Thu) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link] Is any other hardware manufacturer coming out with a phone based on the Access platform? It seems that most of the Linux mobile efforts are dying before they even get a chance to compete. Others that are still standing can enunciate no sensible business plan.
