Not sure, how many people already know or realise that most of the cellphones sold today are based on Open Source.
- Android is the fastest growing Operating System for phones is based on Linux.
- Nokia’s N900 platform runs Linux too.
- Palm’s (now acquired by HP) WebOS is based on Linux too.
- Symbian the most popular phone operating system is now Open Source.
- iPhone is based on a BSD kernel which is also Open Source.
Is there still room for proprietary operating systems?
