Release 2 of the LiMo Platform is now being specified and developed collaboratively by a number of LiMo members and is planned to be completed in late 2008.
Third-party developers can use LiMo's application programming interface (API) specifications - available at www.limofoundation.org - to build new applications. Middleware components for the LiMo Platform can be implemented in either C or C++ programming languages. Software development kits for Native, Webkit and Java operating environments will be released from the second half of 2008.
The Limo Foundation was launched in January 2007 by Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics and Vodafone. Membership is open to all vendors and service providers in the mobile communications marketplace, including device manufacturers, operators, chipset manufacturers, independent software vendors, integrators and third-party developers.
Its newest core member is Texas Instruments. According to Avner Goren, TI's representative on the LiMo board and director of strategic marketing for TI's Wireless Terminals Business Unit. "Joining the LiMo Foundation is a natural complement to TI's commitment to provide solutions for all high-level operating systems, and in particular our long history in Linux development...We look forward to collaborating with the LiMo membership to influence the direction of the LiMo Platform."
