Linux will be more used in mobiles than PCs?
I’m just speculating, but it doesn’t sound far-fetched considering the following information from Net Applications concerning OS’s on PCs:
- Windows total: 90%
- Windows XP: 71.5%
- Windows Vista: 18.8%
- Mac OS X 10.5: 3%
- Linux: < 1%
Clearly Windows (as in WIndows Mobile) has little chance to grow its market share, yet Linux is used in Android, LiMo, WebOS etc etc.
Netbooks were supposed to turn the tide for Linux on the desktop/laptop, and the share for Linux there is probably higher than in other types of PCs (except possibly servers) but as far as I know most customers opt for XP in netbooks.
