We’ve almost missed this one. Just before the CTIA has started, LiMo Foundation announced LiMo Platform Release 1, “the world’s first globally competitive, Linux-based software platform for mobile devices.”
We’ve no more details what’s included in the package, but we do have LiMo’s executive director Morgan Gillis’ words, if that counts, “With Release 1 of the LiMo Platform now completed, LiMo Foundation has established a scalable and sustainable mobile device platform that will spur rapid innovation and contributions from all LiMo members.”
Release 2 of the LiMo Platform is planned to be completed in a late 2008 timeframe.
At the same time, LiMo Foundation announced a new member, and “first semiconductor company at the Core member level” – Texas Instruments, which will assume a seat on LiMo’s Board of Directors, Executive Council, Architecture Council and Requirements Council, and will work within LiMo’s constructs to make “valuable contributions to the development and advancement of the LiMo Platform.”
Official website, limofoundation.org, is the place to get more information.

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.
