LINUX IN CELL PHONES
The Linux operating system, which is being used in an increasing variety of 
devices (including handhelds, digital video recorders, and wristwatches) 
will soon be used in cell phones, vying for market share with operating 
systems from PalmSource, Microsoft, and Symbian. The NEC corporation is 
working on the development of Linux-based cell phones with MontaVista 
Software, and is in talks with other cell phone makers to begin similar 
projects focused on the global and Japanese markets. NEC executive Scott 
Hedrick says, "One of our customers wants to move its entire product line 
to MontaVista Linux." (PC World 8 Jan 2002)
