The Linux mobile market is set to explode with the second open-source-based phone on sale over the Internet, opening the door for developers to build their own applications.
Smartphone developers learned on Monday that they won't be shut out of Apple's iPhone. But they're going to have to wait for the red carpet.
Palm pioneered the smart phone, but if rumours prove true, the Treo maker may not survive as an independent company to watch its creation move from the corner office to the street corner.

Smart phones have been one of the big subjects of 2003. But how close are we to the dream of a single device, great for voice, multimedia and various data apps, one equally at home in a high-powered meeting or down the pub?
One of the more curious aspects of the iPhone phenomenon has been the disconnect between the device's capabilities and carriers' willingness to support them.
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?

In 2005, Canadian wireless company Research in Motion (RIM) came from relative obscurity to steal a global lead in e-mail equipped mobile devices with its BlackBerry. Could 2008 be the year that BlackBerry falls off its perch?
