We will try to specify some requirements for the Linux kernel that OSDL and others will be creating, so as to make sure it meets our requirements for performance, power consumption, things like that, that are really needed to make a complete, viable phone.

Some of us see the potential of having one operating system run a whole range of phones -- not just the high-end phones -- from the high-end phone down to at least the middle layer phones, and I think operators see that also as a potentially big advantage. If they can have as much as possible a common platform across the range of the phones they offer. And I think there is potential with Linux to do that to a great degree.

The hope is to try to reduce fragmentation of the mobile phone Linux stack by going through this process -- that's the whole purpose of doing this.
