The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, announced three new members – Marvell, Nokia, and VirtualLogix.
Marvell joins The Linux Foundation with a focus on the standardization of mobile and embedded Linux and its adoption on a wide range of devices. The company’s silicon solutions power a range of consumer electronics and the gateways.
Nokia is interested in working with the LF on Linux-based technologies, including its Internet Tablet (Maemo), in a vendor-neutral environment.
VirtualLogix joins LF to contribute its real-time virtualization expertise to help device manufacturers incorporate the rich functionality of Linux into mobile handset and network infrastructure applications, while reducing bill of materials.
Hopefully, the end result of all the collaboration in the Linux Foundation will be the more powerful, and more reliable Linux-based devices. We’ll watch this space carefully, and keep you guys posted…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
