A version of the increasingly popular Linux operating system Ubuntu will be developed for use on net-enabled phones and devices.
The Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded project aims to create the open source platform for initial release in October 2007.
The operating system will be developed by members of the Ubuntu community, along with staff from chip giant Intel.
Its development was prompted by the growth of power hungry portable devices that place new demands on software.
