That's like lumping together all phones using ARM IPR CPUs (which pretty much all do by the way). See my comment to one of the Symbian posts. “is there any value in lumping them all together as one cohesive mobile Linux group”

No it’s not. That’s like lumping together all phones using ARM IPR CPUs (which pretty much all do by the way). See my comment to one of the Symbian posts.

I am the author of the report. The forecast penetration actually relates to high mid tier, smartphones and MIDs. Which really means that Linux will have a huge share of a far much larger pie than was previously forecast. Although it still has challenges in the form of the new Symbian Foundation. BR Stuart Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I am the author of the report.

The forecast penetration actually relates to high mid tier, smartphones and MIDs. Which really means that Linux will have a huge share of a far much larger pie than was previously forecast.

Although it still has challenges in the form of the new Symbian Foundation.

Traditionally users who learn to navigate an OS always like to stay in the same vertical. MAC + IPOD, Windows + Windows mobile, UNIX + Android/ Limo etc, when given no choice they find the closest comparable interface. Perhaps the ABI projections are linked with the desktop penetration of UNIX over windows. Not a bad bet so long as the UNIX community creates and maintains industry exchange standards. That’s where the rubber meets the road for growth. Linux in the desktop world has a foot print that is growing in fits and bursts around one narrow vertical.
