LiMo Foundation : What's in a Name?
Impressive line-up here:Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics, and Vodafone established the LiMo Foundation to develop the Foundation Platform, a Linux-based, open mobile communication device software platform.
A world-class Linux-based platform aims to provide key benefits for the mobile industry including lower development costs, increased flexibility, and a richer mobile ecosystem - all of which contribute to the group's ultimate objective of creating compelling, differentiated and enhanced consumer experiences.
LiMo? Limo? Limo?? Now why does this not suggest low-cost mobile communication devices to me?
Perhaps this is why they choose the name:This weekend in the Sunday Times job section they advertised for the new CEO and were offering £200k.
Plus limo, presumably.
