Emblaze Edelweiss could be running Access Linux Platform + Mobile Netfront Widget Engine

This 480 x 854 3.5 inches Multi Touch (supposed) Mobile Phone. yes, the pretty beast in the picture above is called Edelweiss as the pretty but strong Flower Mountain and comes from Emblaze Mobile. a Israeli Mobile Company. it is being developed for the Russian market as the iPhone Killer for that very market only. considering the resolution alone is superior to the already superior resolution of the Touch HD. that should make it worthy of consideration. but that is not the greatest thing about this phone. from the looks and the known up to now facts.the Emblaze Edelweiss may be running with the Access Linux Platform. this is a big deal because of what i noted about ALP when i had a look at it close to two months ago:

This Mobile OS looks to be the friendliest yet to develop for those in Linux, it counts with full Ubuntu support tools, full Java ME support and that can run native linux apps, gatner apps, palm os apps, and of course Java apps.

That pretty much means you could run and adapt lots of things into the phone. hell, it may also be possible it could run Mono 2.0 and Moonlight if you adapt that to it.

But as it is easily seen in the screenshot. it is running Widgets in its desktop. those widgets look to be Netfront Mobile Widgets adapted to the phone:

This would make its Mobile Widget offering no less stronger than the one now being pushed by Samsung with TouchWIZ or LG with its Flash UI. certainly a really incredible phone if it holds true. too bad it is Russia only. that means you will only get to have it if you import it over.
