Nokia eyes wider usage of Linux in cellphones
By Tarmo Virki
PARIS (Reuters) - The world’s top handset maker Nokia Oyj expects the role of the Linux operating system in its product portfolio to increase as the role of its Internet-focused devices grows, company officials said.
Linux has so far had little success on cellphones, but its role is increasing as more new Linux-based models reach the market, while Google Inc gave it a vote of confidence by using it to build its Android platform on.
Nokia itself has used Linux for years in its Internet tablets, large phone-like devices used to access Internet on the go, but lacking calling functionality. “We will expand that range, and we believe that the role of Linux will grow,” said Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti.
