For all those people out there that do not even know they are using Linux on their smart phone this would come as a surprise. But it is still true nonetheless. Android  which is built off of Linux has already gained enough momentum that it has outsold the iPhone for the first time this year and Android phones are increasing by 160,000 activations a day.

While this going on companies are developing tablet computers

netbooks, ereaders and all sorts of devices to run off of Android or some other flavor of Linux such as Meego. Meego is another Linux operating system that we will be hearing more and more about.

To see this kind of success this early with Android gives us some idea of the kind of momentum that Android is capable of gaining as well as Google’s Chrome OS. Linux will soon not only dominate the smart phone market but also the netbook and tablet market and eventually even the desktop market.
