The latest version is MontaVista’s Mobilinux 5.0 and it features several new updates. The company said that the latest version features improved security, better power management tools and support for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi dongles.

It has also been optimized to boot faster on mobile devices. The company added in its statement that this mobile OS currently powers 90 percent of existing Linux-based smartphones in the market.

This updated release also comes included with miniaturized version of SELinux which was developed by the U.S. National Security Agency.

The developers added that this updated release has also been optimized and it takes just around 14 MB of space on the mobile device.

I need an update urgently to my A1200

Better help OpenEZX and OpenMoko guys

Anyway, the new version of Montavista Linux doesn't involve the real problem of the A1200, the closedness of the EZX UI.

[andrei_syah]

yeah better open one than closed OS

hmm.. maybe the E7 will have the MontaVista’s Mobilinux 5.0 and an animated UI unlike EZX.
its sadly that the EZX UI not is not developed by motorola anymore, but most of the people wanted an smoothly animated UI like the iPhone has or similar..
dont forget the EXZ UI is around 5-6 years old now and has no official SDK.

i just saw some other (nicer) UI's for linux phones with SDK.. read here...
