For which device is the beta Version? I think they can choose the Java-VM that they would ;) Perhaps you follow the discussion by me about TomTom. They answered that they will wait for more publicity about openmoko and the neo. So i am very surprised about the openess of Navigon to the project. I hope Navigon develop "now" (not later ;)) a solution for the Navigation problem. I would be the first buyer :D > >From my side, I would even spend some menpower to make this thing running on > >the upcoming OpenMoko based Neo. But I'm no developer.
