LinuxWorld Conference & Expo Thursday announced it has added a conference track focusing on Mobile and Embedded Linux that features a new Mobile Linux Pavilion. LWCE is set for April 3-6, 2006 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Mobile Linux Pavilion will showcase the latest use of Linux in mobile devices, conference organizers said. Exhibitors will include PalmSource, Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum.

"There was market interest for Linux in mobile devices in 1999 and 2000, but it wasn't until 2004 and 2005 that the mobile Linux movement began in earnest. As more companies begin developing Linux software and hardware specifically for the mobile market, the future looks bright for mobile Linux," said David Korse, president & CEO, IDG World Expo.

Speakers in the Mobile and Embedded Linux session track will include Bill Weinberg, analyst/strategist with the OSDL (Open Source Development Labs); Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol; Didier Diaz, vice president of core product marketing with PalmSource; and Jacob Lehrbaum, product manager with MontaVista Software.

In addition, the Mobile Linux Pavilion will feature demonstrations from leading mobile Linux distributors, cell phone and PDA manufacturers, embedded systems chip manufacturers, and mobile and embedded software providers, organizers said.

"Linux is experiencing growth on mobile handsets," said OSDL's Weinberg. "To accelerate deployment and broaden mobile Linux adoption, OSDL launched the Mobile Linux Initiative (MLI). LinuxWorld Conference & Expo provides a high profile venue to advocate the end-to-end deployment of Linux, from communications infrastructure to wireless handsets, from the enterprise out to mobile clients, and beyond."
