Interview with Doug Turner and Chris Hofmann (New Mobile Computing)

[Posted March 10, 2004 by corbet]

New Mobile Computing has an interview with Doug Turner and Chris Hofmann of the Minimo project. "Minimo, is really two parts -- it is an effort which aims at providing a small embeddable browser for small devices. We think we have done a good job at this. The second aim is to provide a best-of-bred application for small devices. We have just started to work on the second aim. You should expect to see some very good UI for Minimo in the next few months."

So who is funding their project?

This is an interesting question, because the only GNU/Linux phonemaker I am aware of is Motorola, but they seem to be using Java while Minimo is GPE. And I'd rather have native software than Java bytecode, so while having Java around as in Motorola's phones is nice, I'd like to throw my support behind the Minimo funder by making it my next cell phone vendor...
