Vodafone 360 LiMo handsets are no more, probably not missed by many

Vodafone 360 LiMo handsets are no more, probably not missed by many thumbnail

We can’t say we didn’t see this coming , but Vodafone’s finally put its bespoke 360 phones out of misery. The reason? To focus on making its 360 services — mainly social networking integration and an app store — “available on as many devices as we can as soon as we can.” Sounds a bit over the top (like Sony Ericsson bundling PlayNow with Android ), but regardless of the implementation, ’tis likely a way of reflecting the lack of adoption for these Samsung LiMo handsets. A real shame, we tell ya

Motorola quietly takes one step away from LiMo, looks to Android for consolation thumbnail

Filed under: Handsets , Software , Motorola , Linux , Android Man, remember LiMo ? Amazingly, there are some 40 handsets on the market today based on the platform, but precisely none of them are boasting a profile as high as any one of the Android smartphones also on store shelves. As Motorola scrambles to re-make itself and prove that its CLIQ is a force to be reckoned with in the burgeoning Android phone sector, the company has also decided to remove itself as a ” founding member ” of the LiMo Foundation. The company recently noted that the outfit was sliding down to “associate member,” stating that “at this time it feels that the Android platform gives it a richer, more consistent foundation with strong support for the ecosystem and developer community.” That’s a pretty damning statement to our ears, but we won’t go so far as to call the breakup between Moto and LiMo official; we’re guessing “it’s complicated” would be entirely more appropriate here

Garmin-ASUS nuvifone G60 spills loads of Linux-laced screenshots thumbnail

Filed under: Handsets , Software , ASUS , Others , Linux Yeah, we’ve seen our fair share of glimpses at Garmin-ASUS’ nüvifone G60 , but with the Linux-based phone just weeks away from shipping over in the Far East, these last minute looks are becoming all the more tantalizing. A reviewer over in Malaysia managed to spend a bit of quality time with the handset, and while he’s still waiting for his official review unit, he managed to snag a litany of screenshots that gives us a fantastic idea of what to expect from a user interface perspective. We have to say — we kind of dig the whimsical look at a glance, but it makes us wonder just how serious of a smartphone this thing really is. With Android already out, does this UI look like it has the chops to compete
