LWN - QUALCOMM announces Linux support for mobile phone chipsets

LWN QUALCOMM announces Linux support for mobile phone chipsets:
"QUALCOMM Incorporated has announced that it will be supporting Linux on its Mobile Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) chipsets. 'The new initiative provides manufacturers with further design and development efficiencies for 3G smartphones and other mobile handsets by leveraging the flexibility and reliability of the Linux operating system.'"

First it was the PalmOS and now it's QUALCOMM. Looks like Linux is winning some heavy support. Not sure where the Symbian OS is right now though. Maybe they'll eventually move over to Linux too.
