Verizon joins LiMo Foundation
Verizon Wireless joins the ranks of 40 other handset suppliers such as Samsung, LG Electronics, and Korea’s SK Telecom Co as the company joined a consortium working on a Linux-based mobile operating system. The company said it would take a seat on the Limo Foundation’s board and projects to have its first phones based on the LiMo operating system in the market by 2009. The decision to join LiMo follows recent indications that rival AT&T plans to support Android, the Linux operating system being developed by Google and about 30 partners. Verizon Wireless Vice President Kyle Malady said that while the company would continue to support other operating systems—such as the one used in blackberry – but the LiMo system would be its primary operating system.
