Mobile Linux Needs a Microsoft to Prosper
Published on:
In a move which may raise eyebrows amongst the Linux developer community, the CEO of the smartphone vendor, HTC has said that mobile Linux will face difficulties unless it gets support from a major long term partner - and named the company's own long term partnership with Microsoft as an example to follow.
"HTC has been working together with Microsoft as product creation partners for 10 years and the cooperation between the two companies has resulted in a great deal of good chemistry results," Chou told the DigiTimes news publication on the sideline of the company's 10-year anniversary ceremony.
The company has been a long term partner of Microsoft, but says that it is still keeping its options open as far as Linux based smartphones.
Microsoft's Mobile Os was embedded within 12 million Windows Mobile-based products in the previous fiscal year, with HTC being one of the major contributors, Microsoft senior vice president, Pieter Knook indicated.
