Motorola Leaves LiMo Foundation Board
Friday, October 9, 2009 3:20
The LiMo Foundation has been tacking on members here and there, but they just lost the better part of a major one: Motorola (NYSE: MOT). Moto’s VP of software apps and ecosystems, Christy Wyatt, has left the board, but the company will stick around as a standard contributing member. Moto’s love affair with Android lately has been palpable, which, as another form of mobile Linux, puts them a bit at odds with the foundation’s goals, but as one of the founding members of the LiMo foundation, it’s hard to expect them to leave altogether. Samsung is in a similar position, what with the recent launch of the Moment – maybe Motorola’s move is a sign of things to come for the fate of LiMo on the whole.
