Thank you so much for your answer. The application to be developed is just a demonstrator of seamless wireless mobility and video streaming services ubiquity, no commercial target. So, as we previously developed a desktop IPTV application in Java and now we need to include ubiquity capabilities, is good to know what Moblin and Ubuntu Mobile offers to port (or re-code) the application and add new features (through wireless drivers information access and multimedia and UI libraries).
It seems that this can be done more or less in a straight forward way once the development environment is known. Anyway, if there is any closed access to drivers or video streams in the Moblin/UME platform, please let me know as they are essential for my development tasks. If possible, I would prefer developing in Moblin/UME platform instead of Windows CE, Symbian or iPhone OS. With Maemo platform (and maybe Android in a near future), Moblin/UME seems the perfect platform to me, that's where my interest comes from.
