It will have the same effect on the phone world as Linux had on the computer world. This will also assist the carrier and end users to reduce the cost of cell phones by having access to a phone that will run on many cell systems and the same software that runs on multiple phone.

Open markets will always win over closed propriety systems. Google made the investment to open the cell market. Other phones such as iPhone and Blackberry will still have their place in the market. We will have to wait to see who prevails. www.motionPHR.com
