According to some creatively minted PR, the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco will be lousy with developers starting Wednesday when a Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit starts in aspiring. To be voiced voiced during tomorrow’s keynote are have been the horde of companies which are throwing their lot in with a mobile OS, togetherwith: EA Mobile, BMW Group, Acer, Gameloft, Novell, ASUS, and some-more. Which is all good and great, though a subject remains: when have been you eventually gonna get the hands on an LG GW990? PR after a mangle.

Update: We combined the integrate shots of the really in-p rogress UI from Intel’s slip uncover. See some-more after a mangle.
