What a day today! We here at LiMo Foundation are very pleased to have issued two press announcements this morning: the first is a broad commitment from global operators on LiMo’s Board of Directors to deploy next-generation handsets based on the LiMo R2 and anticipated LiMo R3 platforms; the second is details the industry’s first such delivery of a LiMo R2 handset as brought to market by Vodafone and Samsung as part of Vodafone’s exciting announcement of Vodafone 360. It goes without saying that these announcements are the culmination of countless hours of effort by all parties involved – a heartfelt ‘congratulations’ is in order for the dedicated teams at Vodafone and Samsung -- and also to the various other companies in LiMo that have contributed to development of the LiMo R2 Platform and/or to the landmark Vodafone 360 H1 by Samsung handset. There’s a great ecosystem taking root within LiMo – both in the sense of the broad array of companies that are contributing into the LiMo Platform, and also in the sense of the very imminent and very tangible commercial opportunity that is taking shape for LiMo members that are providing value-added technology and services for the LiMo solutions that are now coming to market. Be sure to keep tabs on our blog later today and over the next several days for further updates and ‘insider’ perspectives from some of the members that have been leading these very exciting activities. |
