Nokia and Intel collaborating on new Linux-based phone OS called oFono

Between Android and the myriad of LiMo builds out there, we’re not sure the world needs another open-source phone operating system, but Nokia and Intel seem to think differently: the two behemoths have joined up to develop oFono, a Linux-based mobile OS for GSM handsets. We don’t know many details, but he project seems to be pulling people from both Intel’s Moblin initiative and Nokia’s Maemo project, and job postings from a “major handset company” searching for a GUI designer in either Dallas or San Jose have appeared, so it sounds like something big is in the works. We’ll see.
