The LiMo Foundation Platform is being developed to enable the design, development and deployment of mobile phone devices based on a modular, plug-in architecture built around an open operating system with a secure run-time environment for the support of downloaded applications.
The LiMo Foundation is making an open middleware platform available to the whole industry, in order that individual operators and handset makers can substantially reduce the cost of and time required to implement common technology and thereby assign greater investment to technologies that achieve competitive differentiation by making the user experience tangibly better.
Additionally, technology vendors and ISVs can develop their own products for a software platform that is broadly adopted by the whole industry. In other words, LiMo enables the whole industry to focus more closely on the next generation experiences that will really make a difference to the lives of mobile consumers everywhere.
LiMo Foundation is an industry consortium dedicated to creating the first truly open, hardware-independent, Linux-based operating system for mobile devices. Backing from major industry leaders puts LiMo at the Heart of the Mobile Industry and makes LiMo the unifying force in Mobile Linux.
The mission of the LiMo Foundation is to create an open, Linux-based software platform for use by the whole global industry to produce mobile devices through a balanced and transparent contribution process enabling a rich ecosystem of differentiated products, applications, and services from device manufacturers, operators, ISVs and integrators.
