Orange launch mobile Linux initiative.
"For the first time, Linux seemed to be gaining not just the political positioning, but the technical resources and unity, to be adequate in fighting off Microsoft Windows Mobile and possibly sidelining Nokia-backed Symbian."
Orange devices VP, Yves Maitre: "Having ALP [ACCESS Linux Platform] as an Orange approved platform and working with ACCESS to develop and deliver the Orange Application Package for ALP, will enable us to foster the growth of the mobile Linux market." The ALP will contain "applications optimised to deliver the Orange experience", giving device makers "a turnkey mobile Linux platform".
