Linux groups team on mobile standards.

"Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and the Linux Phone Standards (LIPS) Forum will work together to create common requirements and specifications for Linux-based devices, they announced Monday. OSDL focuses on the Linux kernel and operating system, while LIPS works on services and APIs (application programming interfaces)... Linux is emerging as an alternative to Symbian's Symbian OS, Microsoft Windows Mobile and proprietary manufacturer OSes for mobile handsets. Motorola uses a version of Linux for the Ming, a phone it recently introduced in China."
