And, no, it's not about open and free. Since the developers in question are Nokia (since the comment was directed at the release of the N810 itself, and not a request for more 3rd party development), it's about how much effort the developers need to put into supporting something vs. the

I use Opera on the 770 and N800, mainly because Minimo is so far from being finished. While Minimo works great with many sites, and is actually better on some sites than Opera, Minimo is nowhere near a finished product and is not usable as a production quality browser. I'd agree with that

O.K. A question for the web browser developers. Now that Sun has open sourced Java, how long will it be before we see it included in the 770's browser? Sus has *not* yet open sourced Java, they announced to release the first open source code in March 2007, IIRC. So only at that moment,

I think that the device only supports Gtalk-Gtalk speech. SIP-based VOIP and PSTN calls aren't supported natively, IIRC. I should recall that Nokia stated that in the Final version of IT2006 the SIP -based VOIP would be possible, but they didnt include it in the beta version.
