Nokia 770's Os Is Open Source - Can It Be Ported?
« on: November 03, 2005, 08:08:29 am »
After looking through the pages, apparently Nokia has something cooking with the Nokia 770 tablet... has anyone who has development experience had a look at the SDK yet to see if something like this would run on a Z? The Wiki shows quite a nice spread of apps that are becoming available including some that are near and dear to our hearts here in Z land.

Is someone willing to have a look at it and comment?

Maemo - the OSS OS for the Nokia 770 Tablet

Cheers!

Doing 'bitbake maemo-image' in OE should give you a image with the opensource bits of maemo 1.0. Maemo 1.1 needs to be integrated when it gets released.

Thanks Koen -

It looks like the movement is rather robust... with tweaking of the window manager being the key ingredient. Also, hardware support would be an issue, I assume... in any event, I hope to see someone picking up the gauntlet on this... the OS looks very interesting and clean - it'd look great on my C1K!
