Hi,
Some more additional info,
[ ] ilugc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx said and I quote:
Nokia has introduced a neat little Linux-based webpad at
Linuxworld:
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=23494
The entire toolchain as well as everything on the device
is GPLed. It looks like Nokia actually 'gets it' wrt
to FLOSS.
The device is $349, which is definitely tempting.
As most of you probably know by now Nokia announced today the Nokia 770
Web Tablet. This is of course especially relevant for everyone here as
it uses stuff like GTK+, GStreamer, d-bus, gnome-vfs and gconf.
Companies like Fluendo, OpenedHand and Imendio have been involved in
various parts of the development of this device.
The offical page is here:
http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,75023,00.html
With a developer page here:
http://www.maemo.org/
There is also a very nice development environment for this called
scratchbox, which is the one Nokia themselves have used for the
development found here:
http://scratchbox.org/
Nokia will as you know be presenting this device at GUADEC.
Regards,
Toufeeq
