web site has its way, Linux on devices currently running Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform may one day become reality. The web site, which caters to a large number of users of devices based on the HTC Wallaby and Himalaya models - perhaps better known as the O2 XDA and XDA II, or T-Mobile MDA and MDA II - has now offered up space for a product to port Linux to these devices, dubbed Xanadux.

The goal of the project, as listed on the web site, is to produce a working and usable Linux distribution to power these devices, allowing use of all of its features including telephony and GPRS data transfer. User friendliness will also be a major aspect of the project's efforts.

Still in its infancy, the project is seeking additional developers to help create the promised distribution, with no files available for download or installation. Nor is there a timeline available, however the project will be open source and as such available to all device owners once fruits spring from the group's labour.">

Home / Cell phones Linux coming to Phone Edition devices? By Jørgen Sundgot, Tuesday 3 February 2004 If a new effort hosted by the XDA-Developers web site has its way, Linux on devices currently running Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform may one day become reality. The web site, which caters to a large number of users of devices based on the HTC Wallaby and Himalaya models - perhaps better known as the O2 XDA and XDA II, or T-Mobile MDA and MDA II - has now offered up space for a product to port Linux to these devices, dubbed Xanadux. The goal of the project, as listed on the web site, is to produce a working and usable Linux distribution to power these devices, allowing use of all of its features including telephony and GPRS data transfer. User friendliness will also be a major aspect of the project's efforts. Still in its infancy, the project is seeking additional developers to help create the promised distribution, with no files available for download or installation. Nor is there a timeline available, however the project will be open source and as such available to all device owners once fruits spring from the group's labour.     SUBSCRIBE RSS   |   YouTube   |   Facebook   |   Twitter SMARTPHONES HOTTEST   TOP-RATED   COMING SOON TOP STORIES Droid 3 by Motorola Review   Top 5 Big Screen Phones   Top 5 4G Phones - Summer 2011 Hottest Upcoming Phones   Top 10 T-Mobile Phones   Top 10 Verizon Wireless Phones NEW REVIEWS Motorola Droid 3 T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide Samsung Gravity Smart Motorola Xprt HTC HD7S Samsung Exhibit 4G HTC EVO 3D Pantech Crossover HTC Sensation 4G RESOURCES EXPERT GUIDES   PRODUCT GUIDE   SIDE-BY-SIDE MOBILITY HEADLINES Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 6)   Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 5)   Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 4)   Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 3)   Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 2) Android 4 Breaks New Ground (Part 1) iPhone 4S Gets Official Release Date iPhone 5 Predicted As Sprint Exclusive Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Offers Super AMOLED Plus Magic MOBILITY EDITION Check out infoSync Mobility, where you'll find in-depth coverage from the mobile world.   PHOTOGRAPHY EDITION Check out infoSync Photography, where you'll find in-depth coverage from the photo world.   GADGETS EDITION Check out infoSync Gadgets, where you'll find in-depth coverage from the world of gadgets.   DIGITAL HOME EDITION Check out infoSync Digital Home, where you'll find in-depth coverage from the CE world.
