In my opinion that would be outside the scope of *this* program, and should be considered completely separately. Again, there are business risks involved with pre-releasing hardware and I really can't see much (if any) of what you're asking for happening. But if any community member wants to take that on as a project, who's to stop them? ; ) Just curious though: you say you need a MeeGo touch enabled device now. Would that be for a project you have in mind, personal use, ?
