i'm talking about the internet tablets - they don't run symbian, they run linux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800 "The operating system, Internet Tablet OS 2007 (also known as Maemo), is a modified version of Debian GNU/Linux (running Linux 2.6.18)" So, are there any issues with running software for this OS under OM? is it just a matter of installing the correct dependencies - hildon, etc? _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
