The mobile market will exceed the computer market in coming years or has already exceeded the computer and related gadgets market. Nokia and other manufacturers routinely make softwares for their hardware products for the windows and macintosh operating systems.
Unless we, the FOSS users request them every now and then thru email, feedback on their websites, online forums etc etc to also support these softwares on the linux platform, Linux will get increasingly sidelined and less people will even come to know about it.
Getting linux on the printed packaging of a product (visibility) is very important for awareness generation. 95% of the battle of getting linux popular will be won if it becomes visible to the layman.
I request FOSS users to constantly strive to make linux visible to laymen thru whatever creative ideas they have, every now and then, specially thru requests to manufacturers etc and online forums.
