Forbes takesa look at Cyanogen, and its prospects in the phone market."Cyanogen has a chance to snag as many as 1 billion handsets, morethan the total number of iPhones sold to date, according to someanalysts. Fifty million people already run Cyanogen on their phones, thecompany says. Most went through the hours-long process of erasing anAndroid phone and rebooting it with Cyanogen. [Kirt] McMaster is now persuading a growing list of phone manufacturers to make devices with Cyanogen built in, rather than Google's Android. Their phones are selling out in record time. Analysts say each phone could bring Cyanogen a minimum of $10 in revenue and perhaps much more."
