Moblin, Chrome, Android, Ubuntu, etc
summary
Claims that Linux is already the fastest‑growing platform across embedded, mobile, netbooks and servers, backed by concrete examples: Android G1 and Chrome/ChromeOS, HP Mini netbooks, Linux TVs and set‑top boxes, and the prediction that “Linux devices by Christmas” will appear. Economic specifics: 30% app‑store cut reshapes who earns money, Android gives that cut to carriers, and carriers subsidize hardware as shown by AT&T $50 subsidized netbook. Industry signals include Red Hat in S&P 500 and Microsoft joining Linux driver efforts. Challenges: standards, patents, and defensive publications; LSB, Maemo/Moblin and app stores are the active tools.
