Road Map For Smartphone OS and Mobile Linux


Haier N60 is based on ALP (ACCESS Linux Platform)

Information Week has a table that summarizes the road map of major mobile phone operating systems, including Symbian, Linux, Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Mac OS X:

I don’t think SavaJe should be in the Linux category. I do not recall SavaJe is related to Linux. At least all the marketing effort of SavaJe was that it is a Java-based platform. Initially it was not Java ME (neither MIDP nor PP) but Java SE, and that is where the company name is coming from (SavaJe -> JavaSe).

Linux in the mobile world apparently is very diversified. The most successful Linux mobile phone manufacturer is Motorola. It has launched many devices in Asian market, including ROKR E6, a ultra thin phone with 2 MP camera and touchscreen. Other major manufacturers include E28, Haier, Lenovo, NEC, Panasonic and Samsung. Mobile Linux vendors include ACCESS, MIZI, MontaVista, Trolltech and more.

Some other recent news about smart phone OS:
Windows Mobile Pocket PC/Smartphone will be renamed to Windows Mobile Professional Edition and Standard Edition.
ACCESS renamed Palm OS to Garnet OS.

    This post is about road map of OS not geographic maps :)

    But if you are looking for map softwares for your P910i, you may try:

    Google Maps:
    http://www.google.com/gmm
    Windows Live Search for mobile (download the J2ME version):
    http://wls.live.com
    J2MEMAP:
    http://j2memap.landspurg.net

    Since P910i does not have GPS built-in, you will need a bluetooth GPS receiver if you would like to have the GPS navigation function.
