Hey, can someone call me a LiMO? OK, you're a LiMO.

Here's one LiMO pulling up that won't make guys at Google's Android group happy. The LiMO Foundation announced their first release of their Linux-based mobile device platform, LiMo Platform Release 1. Woo-hoo! Real unified Linux phones we can put our hands on to run Java ME technology, not vapor-droid-ware. :-)

See:

No vapor-ware, LiMO drives up

Here's a quote: 

 The LiMo (Linux Mobile) Platform combines 
 standards and open-source projects into a 
 modular, hardware-independent plug-in 
 architecture that provides a secure run-
 time environment, says the Foundation. 
 Founded in January 2007, the industry
 group was confronted with what many see 
 as a competitive mobile platform when 
 Google and the Open Handset Alliance 
 (OHA) announced the Linux-based Android 
 phone stack platform.  Both efforts are 
 attempting to consolidate the fragmented 
 mobile Linux market around common 
 platforms in order to reduce costs and 
 promote interoperability.
These are not the droids you were looking for. They're better. They're shipping. :-)
