LiMo Foundation to Launch Phone Platform in March.

"The LiMo Foundation will publish a beta version of the software’s APIs (application programming interfaces) today so that developers can begin writing applications to run on it. The API’s will remain beta versions because there may be minor changes made to the software before it is launched in March.

The LiMo Foundation is focusing on phones’ middleware so mobile phone manufacturers and operators can write their own user interface and content applications...

LiMo is in competition with Google’s Android code, which is supported by the Open Handset Alliance. This year could see the opening shots of a battle for market share between the LiMo foundation and the Open Source Handset Alliance."
