Motorola No Longer on LiMo Foundation Board

From PC World: Motorola is so focused on Android that it has dropped its board seat on the LiMo Foundation, the mobile Linux group it helped found.

Christy Wyatt, vice president of software applications and ecosystems at Motorola, quietly mentioned on Tuesday that she is no longer on the board of the foundation.

Motorola decided to become an associate member this year and remains an active and contributing member, it said in a statement later. Motorola is no longer listed as a founder member on the LiMo Web site.

As an associate member, Motorola is now ineligible to run for a board seat, a spokeswoman for the foundation said. In a consortium like the foundation, changes on the board are natural, she said. This year, SK Telecom and Telefonica were added to the board.

Still, the loss of Motorola as a board member is a blow to the foundation, said Allen Nogee, an analyst at In-Stat. He expressed concerns about some LiMo members, including Motorola, making recent announcements supporting Android.
