<bitter sarcasm> Wonderful. Good job, Nokia.</bitter sarcasm> Obviously I wasn't around for the Sharp Zaurus developer experience, but this seems to be a silly thing for Nokia to do. This thing was upwards of $350! What do you mean there's no OS upgrade for it??

I obviously know next to nothing compared to you and your OpenEmbedded cohorts, but how much trouble would it be to throw out Maemo all together and use OpenEmbedded on the 770...with GPE, or Opie II whenever that's ready. OpenEmbedded has a LOT more software available for it in a central location, whereas the 770 experience has been random bloggers (myself included) hacking together .debs in Scratchbox. Obviously we'd have to keep a few proprietary things...probably the non-free kernel modules and (maybe) the Xomap server (is that free/libre? I don't know). But from what I know I don't see any reason why we can't junk the rest of it and use whatever suits our fancies.
