LiPS and LiMo merge

[Posted June 26, 2008 by corbet]

Two competing groups trying to build standardized platforms for mobile telephony - the Linux Phone Standards Forum and the LiMo Foundation - have announced their intent to merge. "This pooling of efforts and resources reflects the industry-wide trend towards unification of Linux-based mobile telephony platforms and will serve to accelerate the emergence of common mobile Linux specifications and implementations. It will also bolster the emerging mobile Linux developer community and support the creation of a range of new applications, services and end-user experiences." It also acknowledges the fact that there's no shortage of mobile platform projects currently.

Excellent.  This will combine all the great features of both of these bureaucracy-bound,
committee-driven dinosaurs.  And it will be twice as big, to boot!

Please, Google, hurry...
