We all know Linux on mobile is set for growth. The LiMo Foundation was founded by such companies as Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic, Samsung and Vodafone, hence we do expect the major push of mobile Linux in the coming months.
Now, we have one of the leading semiconductor suppliers, Broadcom, joining LiMo as an associate member. Another big name listed is certainly good for the emerging mobile Linux platform. I just can’t wait to see these devices hitting the market in volumes…
As a sidenote, it’s interesting to note how Broadcom works to get its piece of all the smartphone action. Earlier we saw them expanding their Windows Mobile smartphone design center in Taiwan and joining the Symbian S60 developers’ community, and now they’re about to enter the mobile Linux game.

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.
