Linux To Power Google GPhone?
One thing which hasn't been nailed down in all the reports about Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s expected mobile phone announcement is exactly what operating system will run the thing. Turns out, it could be Linux.
That'd be a huge boost for the open-source OS. Reports that Linux would be at the heart of Google's gPhone first surfaced this August, in a report out of Asian by Jennifer Tan of Anian Research. (Tan's article is no longer extant, but LinuxDevices.com has the story.)
Subsequent Gphone story haven't focused much on the OS, chattering instead about the who, when, and where of the announcement. eFluxMedia is reporting that, along with the Gphone, Google will launch a development platform.
