Linux spreading to phones like a virus

Dual-boot phones and devices are something quite exciting, as users have more choice. Unfortunately manufacturers don't enable this, and to figure out how to do it you will have to know some advanced programming.
Gladly, there are people who do it for us, but it doesn't mean it becomes a piece of cake. An example of this is the recent porting of Google Android to the Nokia N810.

Smartphones will be conquer a third of the mobile market by 2013
Written by Meraj Chhaya on March 23, 2008 – 12:41 am
This is what the analysts from ABI projects predict, from the current 10% share in the mobile phone industry, smartphones will occupy a hefty 31% in the market.
Smartphones have been a synonym for convergence, and manufacturers use them as their flagship phones in order to show-off their latest innovations in technology. The three top smartphone Operating System suppliers are Symbian, Windows Mobile, and RIM.
ABI Research vice president Stuart Carlaw comments, "Smart operating systems are continually being optimized to run on processors with lower performance. There is a strategic move to support smart OSes in single chip midrange devices in order to unlock more data revenues." Carlaw adds that, "The market is currently dominated by Nokia (52%) and Symbian (65%). However, the coalescence of the framework wars in the Linux environment and the growing stature of Windows Mobile will enable new competitors to put pressure on this established axis."
In the future, we can expect Google Android and Apple Mac OS X for the iPhone to turn the figures in their favour, bringing mobile experiences close to computer replacement.
