Usage
Around 35 million devices have run on Mobilinux, mainly in Asian markets. LWN.net argued that because it was controlled by a single company and targeted mobile operators, it did not generated a large developer community.[5] It has been used on smartphones and NAS devices. The Motorola used Mobilinux in their MotoMagx OS, for example Motorola ROKR.[6]
