The company, which develops mobile phone software for Linux, has created Mobilinux Open Framework to gather momentum for its Montavista Linux Consumer Edition embedded software. The initiative joins chipmakers, software providers and wireless carriers to create an ecosystem around the software.

Opera (www.opera.com) isn't an Open Source web browser. It's an extremely good browser, but it has never reached great popularity partially because it is actually ad-ware. The ads can be removed by purchasing it, which is something that probably wouldn't be an issue if it were OSS.
