A Frog in the Valley

The real way to build a platform is to make available the pieces to create it…

Developers interested in porting applications to PalmSource’s Linux implementation for mobile phones are invited to a special "PalmSource Developer Day" at this year’s LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco. Attendees will receive early access to the Access Linux Platform (ALP), and get hands-on experience building applications for the platform, PalmSource says.

Phone is a key piece (albeit to be rapidly commoditized) to any mobile device strategy, the availability of this phone stack great news. Yeah, wifi is great, but the coverage is maybe 1% of what is available to cell phones, even in urban areas. And Asterisk is the new LAMP, well said.
