Oh, this is great news indeed. I installed the Contacts and Dates apps from openhanded with no troubles, but when I tried to install Tinymail, I need the customized libraries. Are there instructions for how to do a build, where to find the updated libraries, and without breaking my old system's libraries ;) Current OpenMoko developers, could you comment on the state of messaging on OpenMoko and if this is a good direction to go on merging these message types behind this soon-to-become handheld standard mail app? :) The tinymail, dates and contacts applications are awesome, well supported by opened hand, nokia/maemo and others. Thus, it seems logical to jump on the bandwagon to gain group benefits and to have an upstream source for email...
