RDATE:22052008
Chambery, France -- Purple Labs, the leading supplier of Linux for
mass-market 3G phones, announced today its further expansion into Asia
with the opening of a new sales and support office in Seoul, Korea.
"With both Samsung and LGE participating in the LiMo Foundation, there
are now clear market opportunities in Korea for our mobile Linux
solutions," said Gordon Tsang, Purple Labs senior vice president for
Asia. "Our investment in a Korean team directly reflects our commitment
to serving these important customers."
Aiming to create a rich mobile ecosystem based on Linux, the LiMo
Foundation now has a global roster of members including Samsung, LGE,
and Korean network operators KTF and SK Telecom. Earlier this year,
Purple Labs became the first LiMo member providing LiMo compliant
software for mass-market phones.
Grant Jang has now joined Purple Labs to head up the Korea office,
reporting to Tsang. Prior to joining the company, Jang led the Korean
office at Openwave Systems, and earlier worked at Giga Telecom and
Hyundai Electronics.
