And what about medical devices that communicate with cell phone...new Linux interfaces?  This is not the same platform used by Apple...which is Android and does not have the large availability of software yet as LiMo has...as the PC world has converged with Linux and Windows working together we might just see the same in motion with cell phones as well...BD  image

(AP) -- Verizon Wireless is backing a free operating system that competes with programs from Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. and Qualcomm Inc. and expects it to become the "preferred" software on its network.

It's the first U.S. carrier to join the LiMo Foundation, which aims to unite handset makers, software companies and carriers on a software platform that will make it easier and cheaper to create a wide variety of phones. Malady said Verizon Wireless chose to back LiMo over, for example, Android, because LiMo unites diverse industry participants in an inclusive governance structure and already has software available already.
