History of mobile Linux was launched in 2005, when the company announced LiMo Foundation aims to develop a common mobile platform, running under Linux. With his back to support the world's leading mobile market, as Motorola, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, Vodafone, and others, the company has created an alternative to the rule of Symbian OC and Microsoft Mobile. Why Linux has attracted the attention of world leaders in telephony? The answers lie in the structure of the operating system. For example, in contrast to Microsoft Windows and other Commercial operatsionok, Linux has no specific development centers and writing programs. However, as there is no commercial entity that oversees and makes a profit for this development. In essence, the application for OS Linux – the fruit of labor many thousands of programmers from all over the world.
Knowing the basics of programming, it is possible to organize work to create a unique project, which will be available for free use. Consequently, many errors programs are eliminated together with the developers and users, quickly and efficiently. This creates tremendous opportunities for creativity and expands the user-defined functions, since the applications themselves are developed by customized and based on their needs. Of course, before that were issued smartphones with Linux OS, but the problem is that every mobile phone manufacturer applied his specifications, which made it difficult process developing applications for OS developers. The result is a hardware conflict in the application software in the phones of any manufacturer. Develop a common platform for all vehicles produced was the main task of the world's leading mobile communications, and as a result of this arose the concept of open mobile space, the main promoter of the idea which is the company Motorola, which so far unsuccessfully fighting for Nokia leadership in the smartphone market (recall that the Nokia smartphones based on Symbian OC).
