By Brad Smith, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Wireless Week</span></i>
Technology Editor <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
don't like to be one to hype a technology, but you have to feel the energy building
behind Linux for mobile phones. Part of that is due to the announcement by
smartphone maker Palm it will use Linux in future phones.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Palm's
news, which came during an analyst call on the company's financials, was
interesting for two reasons. First, people (myself included) have been
wondering what Palm was going to do with its user-friendly Palm OS. Palm
essentially acquired the latest OS, a 5-year-old version called Garnet, from
Access, which purchased PalmSource. Apparently Palm wanted Garnet to be able to
support its use on the current crop of Treos, but it looks like Garnet will not
father a child.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>CEO
Ed Colligan says Palm now plans to use Linux in future Treos so the handsets
can handle both voice calls and data at the same time. Colligan says Palm also
will continue to make Treos based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, which
have been pretty successful over the last year or so. Colligan also predicted
the worldwide smartphone market will grow to a $36 billion business by 2009 and
Palm wants a bigger global share.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Palm's
announcement, of course, also was of interest as an example of the building
interest in recent months in the use mobile Linux. The analyst firm ABI is
predicting major growth for mobile Linux in the years ahead. In a report before
Palm's announcement, ABI said more than 127 million Linux handsets will be sold
by 2012, compared to 8.1 million this year.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>"Linux
in the cellular phone is not a question of 'if', but 'when'," says ABI
research director Stuart Carlaw.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There
are a number of other options for mobile Linux, including Trolltech's
GreenSuite and the Access Linux Platform (why didn't Palm go with it?). And
Nokia, which has been getting more and more into open source software, also has
joined the Linux Foundation. Nokia uses Linux in its Internet Tablet, a version
of which could wind up on Sprint's WiMAX network. Nokia also has started
distributing a software developer kit that can be used to make it easier to
port Linux projects to Symbian OS smartphones.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'>It
all spells growing interest in mobile Linux. As IMS Research analyst Alison
Bogle says, handset manufacturers cannot afford to ignore Linux for future
handsets. Time will tell, but Linux apparently is going to become a bigger
force in the mobile world.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
