As per The Register Google is in the process of builing a browser. I just hope that they use Mozilla Firefox as the base, enhance it and give their enhancements back to the community.

Also from the article:

Longer term, the firm could be looking at building a stack of applications that would mirror Larry Ellison’s network computer model – an online resource accessed by a browser and a very simple PC.

This seems interesting, who needs a 3 GHz system just for WordProcessing. My first PC (286 – 25 MHz ) could do that too and I don’t use any significant feature that I would miss or a low end system wouldn’t be able to handle.

Businessweek has an article about Linux in Cellphones.

It says.. NTT DoCoMo declared that all its future 3G phones would use either Symbian or Linux.

This in interesting because of two reasons. First DoCoMo has always been ahead in terms of technology by launching the latest mobile technologies in Japan much ahead of the rest of the world.

Second, the one company that out is Microsoft!

Hoping to see Linux cellphones being adopted by the masses.
