[Werner Heuser <Werner.Heuser@web.de>]

    Hello,

    finally I am back from LinuxSolutions.FR in Paris, sorry for the
    delay of the TuxMobil News digest. Anyway the digest for
    January 2004[1] has again good news for Linux PDA, mobile phone
    and laptop users. Here is an extract of the most important messages.

|=| To me one of the most important messages was about a decision
    the biggest Japanese phone company has made. NTT DoCoMo canceled
    the mobile phone Joint Venture with Microsoft in favor
    of the Symbian and Linux operating system[2]. Also a study by
    the Zelos group states "Linux headed for worldwide smartphone
    domination[3]. See more about Linux on mobile phones at
    TuxMobil[4].

|=| The MAC-OS X applications on Zaurus project[5] seeks developers.
    Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller reports progress in the mySTEP project to run
    MacOS X applications on the Sharp Zaurus. And Gentoo is now
    available for the Zaurus Linux PDAs[6].
