The Quest for a Third Mobile Platform

Several potential players piling in.

Will be interesting to see what effect that has on MS efforts.

Ubuntu gets a serious mention - the more coverage they can get - the better for them.

I'd love to see a uBuntu version of a smartphone. Ya know, it would probably be less repressed than Apple's iOS, as uBuntu is FreeWare. so they'd probably allow modding from the start. That appeals to me. Actually Modding my iPhone appeals to me, but only because Apple tries to block jailbreaking and fails every time.
