Linux will be shown on the mobile platform

Article title: Linux will be highlighted on the mobile platform. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, held the World Open Source Conference (O 'Reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) in Portland on Monday morning) it is emphasized that Linux will have a major impact in the mobile computing field.

At the one-day "Open Mobile Exchanges" sub-meeting of this conference, qi Mulin explained the development trend of Linux on the mobile platform and the technology that promoted Linux to become the mobile system leader. later, Jason Grigsby, Cloud Four network strategist at mobile and network design companies, stressed the impact of the coming mobile network and expressed the point that network developers are not prepared for it.

"Even in the desktop field, Linux is a major platform," Qi Mulin said at the meeting. in addition, Linux has reached the reach of fuel pumps, medical systems, Wall Street's trading systems, consumer electronics, and even Mars space devices. therefore, we can clearly see that Linux will become the leader of mobile devices."

According to Qi Mulin, Linux provides a unified product platform, adaptability, and a software stack ), in addition, Linux has a growing number of software content and the experience of doubling the number of source code lines of handheld software every year.

Qi Mulin said: "By supporting Linux, developers do not have to deal with compatibility issues for various platforms. the whole industry wants to stay away from this situation. it is undoubtedly a nightmare to support all different OSes and try to maintain a certain degree of compatibility. different middleware packaging (middleware packages) and application development frameworks for Linux can be achieved. The core kernel of hybrid Linux has a great deal of space."

Commercial factors driving Linux development include reduced installation and deployment costs, differentiated space, and mobile platform development ecosystem. "This is clearly a platform exempt from patent fees (royalty-free), and this is the biggest commercial driver," said Qi Mulin. linux does allow device manufacturers and newcomers to join and create their own brands."

The development of Symbian open source has a negative impact on Windows. after all, the open source of Symbian means that only Windows is a mobile platform that still charges patent fees.

The development of Linux applications is always centered on innovations such as Google's Android and LiMo (Mobile Linux Fund, linux's efforts in other aspects have left a deep mark on the creation of open-source smartphone systems such as Openmmok and mobile Ubuntu.

Qi Mulin said, "from the perspective of enterprises, apart from Microsoft, there is no such competitive strength as the Linux camp has. in addition, the use of Linux for mobile devices such as laptop systems also validates Linux's efforts."

At the same time, Jason greesby stressed that the mobile network is approaching, but developers are still not ready for it. he said, "There are currently 3.3 billion mobile devices around the world, which means that every two people have one, which is higher than the average ownership of PCs, cars, TVs, and credit cards."

Greesby appreciates the features of Apple's iPhone and its contribution to the mobile computing platform. "Apple's iPhone is like the Moxi law book (Hebrew Bible) on the mobile network, which opens up the eyes of people to discover business opportunities on mobile platforms," he said."
