oFono
Yet another DEVO-hat logo: oFono, a joint venture between Intel and Nokia to create an open source mobile telephony stack. Considering the parties involved, the site is surprisingly anemic. Maybe they just don’t want to lay out the cash. Open source panacea in effect, y’all.
Intel wants to be sure it has a horse in the mobile device race, and Nokia… well, seeing how anemic the Ovi store is versus the install base, Nokia seems to be adopting a shotgun approach to the future. Ordinarily, you could cut the big fish some slack while it got its act together (see: Microsoft discovering the Internet.) The problem is that it’s up against big fish Microsoft, Apple, Google, RIM, and the little guppy that could: Palm. Right now, Nokia can’t afford to pull another 3650 out of its ass.
