MontaVista Software has just released the fifth edition of MontaVista Mobilinux. This specific mobile operating system is used in 90 percent of Linux-based smartphones, which makes it by far the most popular solution.

The advantages that the new version has to bring are
worthy of consideration. Mobilinux 5.0 enables manufacturers to pack new functions in handsets, portable medical devices and wireless point-of-sale terminals. This means more reliable and faster connectivity, NSA-level security and longer lasting batteries.

"With Mobilinux 5.0, MontaVista has targeted improved power management, real-time performance, optimized execution, reduced footprint requirements, as well as many other features that allow customers to differentiate through the software stack and effectively deliver advanced Linux-based mobile devices to market", said Matt Volckmann, Senior Analyst with VDC's Embedded Software Practice.

The great advantage that MontaVista Mobilinux operating system has to bring is that it allows developers to easily engage in the development of applications. "Mobilinux 5.0 delivers new technologies invented by MontaVista for configurable dynamic power management, plus a powerful security framework that MontaVista's competitors can only dream about. This is simply the best OS ever built for mobile devices", considers Jim Ready, CTO and founder of MontaVista Software. It is only natural that the producer presents its product as being the best, but the large scale adoption speaks best for its quality.

More than 35 million mobile devices run on MontaVista Mobilinux, a great deal more than any other commercial Linux. This software has been tested and debugged by MontaVista for reaching a field-proven production quality that meets the needs of both manufacturers and operators at the same time.

MontaVista Mobilinux 5.0 will be available at a global scale, starting this November. Support for the initial platforms will be followed by six more, at the beginning of year 2008.
