Google is not the only one working on a mobile Linux platform. Access has been hard at work on its own next-generation mobile Linux operating system. The demo we saw at Mobile World Congress shows how capable and user-friendly the system is.I really like this platform. It is speedy, clean, and fast. Access has worked hard to create a new platform that is capable of doing what its customers (operators and OEMs) want.

It is nearly fully realized, and according to the representative who we spoke to, the operators are interested in deploying it.

Not only will it run native Linux applications, but it will also run Garnet apps and Java apps. We were able to see a Java game working on the platform, as well as take a look at the multimedia capabilities.

At first glance, the UI doesn't appear to be too enterprise in nature and has a more consumer feel. But the flexibility to run so many different sorts of applications will make it a very capable platform to develop for.
