Interesting pod cast (1.5 hours, but can read the transcript too)

Essentially we stand in the early days of linux on phones - they say it’s like Linux on the desktop was 20 years ago. As the guest makes clear, there are a myriad of issues starting with getting a list of the devices from the bootloader (as no ACPI), a lack of drivers for hardware as manufacturers don’t feed into the mainline linux kernel, a lack of software that can use that hardware to it’s pull potential (the camera being an obvious one) and a lack of phone apps as the big popular apps aren’t built for linux mobile.

But it seems like things are moving slowly in the right direction, and its interesting to hear how much is going on in so many different areas.
