Verizon Wireless this week announced that it's joining the LiMo Foundation, choosing the open-source Linux-based mobile platform for future mobile phones over competitors like Google's Android.


"verizon Wireless, the second-largest U.S. mobile operator, have dealt a blow to Google... the company said it would throw its weight behind an Android rival," writes BusinessWeek's Jennifer L. Schenker.


And despite Verizon's promise that joining with LiMo doesn't necessarily mean it's snubbing Google, eWeek's Clint Boulton writes, "Verizon's strong support of the LiMo Foundation could color in the battle lines between not only Google and Verizon, but also the Google-backed Open Handset Alliance and LiMo."
