Mobile Linux, if not waiting to die, is impetrating its savior in China, Currently in China, mobile Linux is losing market share to Symbian and Windows Mobile. In 2007, with good market performance of Nokia and Sony Ericsson, Symbian showed a growth of market share, up to 67%. Supported by Microsoft, Windows Mobile was increasingly adopted by top handset manufactures in China, including Dopod (HTC), Samsung, Lenovo, Amoi, even Sony Ericsson. Windows Mobile has revealed a strong potential. In contrast, with the declining of Motorola, mobile Linux had become faint with market share down to less than 20% in 2007 from over 30% in 2005. However, who will help mobile Linux ignite the OS market in China, carriers, handset manufactures, or software vendors?

TD-SCDMA favors domestic Chinese vendors
Thursday, 03 July 2008 00:00

That’s the view of one analyst who participated in trials in Baoding, China, as long ago as December 2006. A very modest supply of subsidized handsets and data cards by domestic and foreign vendors should hit the market this summer for early adopters, according to ABI Research. China Mobile — the winner of China’s TD-SCDMA 3G licenses, announced last week — will offer promotional service rates to drive interest by young subscribers, ABI said. Despite a relative lack of handsets that could have created an Olympic showcase for the homegrown Chinese air interface later this summer, there’s little doubt the Chinese will make controlled demonstrations of its trial networks available to foreign visitors, one analyst said.
