Verizon selects LiMo as core OS

I was lucky enough to participate in a call with Verizon Wireless where they stated they would join a consortium working on a Linux-based mobile operating system expected to rival a mobile system being developed by a group headed by Google. During the call today VZW stated they would continue to carry Windows Mobile devices along with RIM and Palm OS BUT stated the LiMo will be the core OS going forward.. I could not get an exact percentage total as to how many LiMo devices we will see in the next two years but from what I heard it should be significant.

I also think this announcement is a significant statement to the Android OS that wireless providers are doubting that the OS could be ready for prime time anytime soon!
