The name of the new platform is Motomagx. It is based on Linux and developed with an aim, to give third-party developers a possibility to develop applications for Motorola mobile phones. For those purposes the programmers of Motorola are working now at some kind of framework that should make developing of applications for Motomagx more simply.
Are the guys from Motorola afraid about competition with OpenMoko? Or, they want to attack iPhone? The one of the most serious problem of iPhone is an absence of support of third party applications…
I don’t know what was a real reason for Motomagx developing, but I think that Motorola tacked a good decision and they will benefit of it.
