Verizon’s joining the LiMo Foundation (Linux Mobile)

Some people were expecting them to go with Google’s “Android”, but there are some reasons to go LiMo:

• It’s further along, with some handsets deployed.
• After Google’s driving up the bidding high enough to require open access in the spectrum auction, Verizon wanted to do a “screw you” to them.

According to my friends in the biz, Verizon is the most locked down of the carriers….We’ll see how it proceeds.
