With its enhanced user interface and compatibility with LiMo, Linux Platform 3.0 represents the flagship of the company. Linux Platform mini is aimed at the wider spectrum of price-sensitive mobile devices, from cell phones and low-end smartphones to portable media players and devices for the automobile industry.
