There are way too many cell phone operating systems on the market today

Linux is a free alternative that can be installed on any machine.
It seems inevitable that the same thing will happen with cellular devices. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile is bought by companies who manufacture the hardware for the phones. Apple’s iPhone OS is exclusively used on their iPhone and iPod touches. Google’s Android is the free, open source alternative for cell phone manufacturers, much like Linux is on computers.

Blackberry Storm Now Only $99.99 On Contract
By Kyle on July 18, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Whenever a phone drops down in price like this it means they are trying to get rid of as much stock as they can before the release of the next generation of the phone. Saving $100 on a smartphone hardly makes a difference with all the money it will cost you with the contract.
