Title: Motorola Launches MOTOMAGIX Linux Development Platform
Post by: sjj on August 07, 2007, 05:39:31 pm
Motorola announced today that they are introducing MOTOMAGX, the next generation Linux platform from Motorola. To date Motorola has sold more than 9 million mobile Linux handsets around the world.
The first products that are based on MOTOMAGX are the MOTOROKR Z6 and the RAZR2 V8. The RAZR2 V8 is the first Linux device bound for us here in the United States.
The MOTOMAGIX platform enables several different types of content developed by third-party developers. The application supports Java ME applications and there are plans to introduce a new WebUI that would enable widgets and Web 2.0 content.

"MOTOMAGX, when paired with the tools and support from our MOTODEV Developer network, provides a powerful platform for innovation -- making it easier and faster for developers to create new applications for our mobile devices," said Christy Wyatt, vice president, ecosystem and market development, Motorola. "This opens exciting possibilities for what tomorrow's mobile applications will be able to do and the new device experiences they will support."
The MOTOMAGIX application is available for download today.

I feel that Motorola should support the ARM9 CPU too, what is the point of developing a SDK that will only support 2 phones??

it's supposed to support many new -unreleased- phones.... they're thinkin' about future; that's cool; but they forgot the actual users   ¬_¬"

keep wondering why moto seems not taking the os issue seriously. since they sold their stake in symbian consortium in june 2005, there arent notable moves to making linux as their major mobile os have been taken.

why 2?
EZX is E2...and I guess E1120..but Im not sure
JUIX is V8,Z6,ROKR U9(ROKR+PEBL)..and this is only beiginning

v9 and z9 will be launched before christmas with same OS
but it was named diferently well i guess cause it  was not official til now
it is possible to run the new on old phones but some mayor changes will be needed
