Will the Motorola Ming Switch to Windows Mobile?

Filed in archive Linux , Motorola , News , Rumors , Smartphones , Windows Mobile by Rico Mossesgeld on July 15, 2007

While you're relaxing this Sunday, here's some food for thought, courtesy of CoolSmartPhone:

[The] news today [is]...the Motorola Ming will appear with Windows Mobile under the hood.

The original post on the Moto Ming, Motorola A1200, the MOTOMING, or whatever you want to call it, continues to be one of The Smart PDA's most popular articles. Yet commenters have complained about the lack of compatible software for the stylish gadget. Maybe running on Windows Mobile will provide more options for future buyers.

At the very least, this rumor is bad for mobile Linux fanatics. If Motorola is changing the OS of the Moto Ming, this means they'll drop the original, Linux-based, operating system.
