For Vertical markets for now | |
The biggest problem w/ Embedded Linux is the compatability issue. Everyone can make their own version of the embedded Linux kernel, so application compatibility will be the biggest issue.
However, for vertical markets (like enterprise), as long as big companies like IBM support the end-to-end middlewares (both on servers and on embedded Linux), these devices still have a pretty good future. Since all these customers care is to get things done, they don't really care what the platform is. |
