So the issue will add more hype on our mobile market. Intel along with Nokia has just launched this brand new open source project called oFono. The new open source seems to be the competitor for Google Android. oFono will be the operating system based on Linux. So if we consider the name, it looks like the OS will get the good future.
Various mobile devices and smartphones will get benefit of this new OS that has the ability to connect to UMTS/GSM networks. It will also make calls, has support to various mobile applications and access your SIM card.
Unfortunately, there is no word saying the release time.
Below is the post from a blog source informs this new OS.
Intel and Nokia are pleased to jointly announce the oFono project, an open source project for developing an open source telephony solution.
oFono.org is a place to bring developers together around designing an infrastructure for building mobile telephony (GSM/UMTS) applications.?
oFono is licensed under GPLv2, and it includes a high-level D-Bus API for use by telephony applications of any license. oFono also includes a low-level plug-in API for integrating with Open Source as well as third party telephony stacks, cellular modems and storage back-ends. The plug-in API functionality is modeled on public standards, in particular 3GPP TS 27.007 ?AT command set for User Equipment (UE).?
Nokia and Intel will jointly maintain the oFono project. We?d like to invite all developers to join the ofono.org effort and community.
