Android Cool

Verizon is going to introduce a line of handsets based on the LiMo Foundation’s mobile Linux OS. The LiMo foundation is best known for promoting Any Apps, Any Device, an open access initiative. Expect these devices in the next week because word is that CTO Tony Melone has promised the devices mid-May.

Although Android is also Linux-based, the LiMo Foundation has beat Google to the punch by unveiling its first devices at the Mobile World Congress 2008 event in Barcelona in February. LiMo’s Linux based devices include Motorola’s Moto U9, Moto Z6w, Motorokr Z6 and Razr2 V8, NEC’s FOMA N905i and FOMA N705i, Panasonic’s FOMA P905iTV and FOMA N7051, and Samsung’s SGH-i800.
