BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Who Will Win The Mobile OS Wars? DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Who Will Win The Mobile OS Wars? CommNexus. As the mobile phone evolves into a handheld computing device the question of openness in the operating system is raised. In the traditional computing world, Linux rose up as an open alternative which challenged closed or semi-closed incumbents. What are the pros and cons of open vs. closed handheld operating systems? Will different strategies apply because the handset use model differs from desktops? Our panel of mobile operating system vendors (moderated by industry expert Andy Seybold) will debate the practicality of open vs. closed platforms, and their place in the handset value chain.
