Mobilinux by MontaVista Software, Inc.

Product Description

MontaVista's Mobilinux is an optimized Linux operating system and development platform for wireless handsets and other mobile devices such as GPS devices, portable medical devices, and wireless POS terminals. Mobilinux is the operating system used in 90 percent of Linux-based smartphones. More than 35 million phones and other mobile devices run on Mobilinux, far more than any other commercial Linux.
This fifth-generation mobile operating system, Mobilinux 5.0, delivers ubiquitous connectivity, fast performance, plus lower costs and faster time-to market for manufacturers.

As a commercial-grade Linux development platform it provides the time to market benefits normally only found in proprietary development platforms with the customizability and control of an open-source Linux environment. Unlike freely-available source code, Mobilinux is productized, has been tested by MontaVista's testing facilities, and is backed by MontaVista's PhD-level support.

Mobilinux addresses mobile device requirements for power management, real-time performance, fast start-up, and small footprint.
