New Linux phone standards effort in the works

PalmSource, France Telecom's Orange and several other companies plan to standardize aspects of Linux running on mobile phones. News.com reports.

"The Linux Phone Standard (Lips) Forum wants to standardize Linux interfaces so that higher-level software won't have to be customized for each variation of the open-source operating system appearing in different cell phone models. If successful, the allies believe they'll make Linux a better competitor the fast-growing market."
