3-Chip firms form venture to boost Linux push
Electronic chip designer ARM has teamed up with five of its major partners to boost the use of free Linux software on cellphones, challenging Nokia's Symbian and Microsoft.
The chip companies said on Thursday they have set up a joint venture, called Linaro, to cut duplicate development in using numerous Linux versions and to speed up rollout of new phones -- hoping that would boost take-up of more advanced handsets.
That would enable them to ship more advanced chipsets and increase the average sales prices of their platforms.
Versions of the Linux operating system -- Google's Android, operator-backed LiMo, MeeGo from Nokia and Intel and Palm's webOS -- have won increased share of the mobile device market.
