Intel, Nokia team on Linux-based phone OS
Intel and Nokia have been discovered as teaming on a new, Linux-based operating system for mobile phones. Labeled as the oFono project, the effort is separate from both companies' usual Linux projects and is meant to provide an open-source alternative in the same vein as Android. The foundation would be minimal but heavily extensible, letting companies add their own network stacks and other features rather than requiring oFono to supply most on its own.
Whether the platform will be considered useful for smartphones or not isn't mentioned by oFono, though a job listing found by Phonedog that is likely connected to Nokia.
