Enterprise virtualization software giant VMware has launched its first virtualization product aimed at mobile phones. The Linux-compatible Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) is based on technology that VMware acquired last month when it quietly bought French virtualization vendor Trango Virtual Processors.

Due to ship in 2009, VMware MVP is a thin layer of software optimized to run efficiently on low-power, memory-constrained mobile phones, says the company. VMware did not provide technical details about MVP, except to say that VMware MVP will support guest OSes that include Linux 2.6.x, Symbian 9.x, and Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0. It will also support a variety of real-time OSes, including eCos, uITron Norti, and uC/OS-II.
