Azingo Enters Mobile Linux Fray

Becoming a part of the juggernaut that is Nokia couldn’t have come at a better time for Trolltech, which this week got a new competitor.

Newcomer Azingo, which used to be known as Celunite, is coming to market with a mobile Linux platform that it claims will be different than what’s already available from a host of other software firms.

According to InfoWorld, Azingo intends to provide handset makers with an end-to-end platform that offers everything from the Linux kernel, middleware and applications all the way through development tools and integration services. The apps include a variety of widgets, media players and productivity tools, InfoWorld reports.
