5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
According to OK Labs, this will enable Motorola to offer the Evoke QA4 to consumers at a feature phone price, hundreds of dollars cheaper than most smartphones like the iPhone and Blackerry. "OKL4’s mobile virtualization solution enabled Linux and an RTOS to run side by side on a single ARM processor, offering decreased bill-of-materials (BOM) costs and separation of GPL and proprietary software code as required by companies’ IP policies," according to OK Labs. "The isolation provided by OKL4 when running concurrent operating systems on one processor is the same as running each operating system on a separate processor." OK Labs CE Steve Subar told iTWire last week that while the user experience would be seamless for users, the range pf applications available through the Evoke QA4 interface will actually be provided by the concurrently running operating system. “OKL4’s high performance communication mechanisms enabled Motorola to provide a seamless, integrated graphical user experience, bridging new Linux applications and existing legacy RTOS applications,” said Subar today. According to Subar the Motorola Evoke QA4 heralds a new era of low cost smartphones, made possible through the use of mobile hypervisor technology. CONTINUED Page 2 |
