In case you are left wondering what killed the first ALP smartphone, all clues point towards LiMo, the Linux Mobile Foundation and its pet project. The reply came from Edelman, Orange's PR firm, which also told us to contact Samsung and Access directly, but stated: "just so you know the Samsung i800 has been withdrawn. Since the original project was defined back in February there have been a number of advances in mobile technology."
I love how there is not a single smartphone listed at the LiMo site. LiMo looks like a closed, feature phone software licensor, just like Symbian MOAP.
