in Seven Companies Decide Open Source Is the Future of Cellphone Technology on Bob Caswell
“…will make it easier to develop cellphones and other mobile devices with iPhone-like sophistication.”

What exactly is so sophisticated about the iPhone? The touch screen is novel, to be sure, but there is no technology in the iPhone that is any more advanced than other phones out there already.

By exposing an open development platform to mobile developers, not locking it down like apple do, we'll see devices that make the iPhone look like an archaic brick.

Current Symbian and Windows mobile devices already have more features, but are difficult to develop on. An open platform will make the only difficult part thinking of something cool to develop.
