Yes, we are on the public marketing list. :) Thanks Andre for the additional information - based on that, I would highly recommend we issue a GNOME Press Release.

Well, Nokia Internet Tablets are GNU/Linux-based pocket-size computers. For having a real computer experience you need a set of components to make this possible. The main Maemo components are from the GNOME Mobile Platform that is a "subset of the proven, widely used GNOME Platform." "In addition to the core user experience toolkit (GTK+), the platform includes crucial functionality such as multimedia support (GStreamer), instant messaging and presence (Telepathy), Bluetooth (BlueZ)"..."and network service discovery (Avahi). APIs are available for developers using C, C++ or Python." [1][2] For my view, the good thing about Maemo is it means a complete native mainstream mobile programming platform, similar to desktop, where you can program on C, C++. The other mainstream GNU/Linux based mobile application frameworks are much oriented to specific enviroment and languages (Javascript for webOS Palm Pré and Java for Google's Android). Quim Gil gave a talk on GCDS about the next version of Maemo, Maemo 6, code named Harmattan. You can watch and listen here [3]. The main difference that will be introduced on Maemo 6 is that Qt will be support officially by Nokia, instead of GTK+ with Hildon. This is a logical move after the acquisition of Trolltech by Nokia. On this new version GTK+ and Hildon will be supported by the community. The rest of the GNOME mobile components used on Maemo will be supported by Nokia as on the current version of Maemo, Maemo 5, codename Freemantled. "the maemo platform will actually still more or less be GNOME Mobile, except that it will be using Qt instead of GTK+" [4] [1]http://www.gnome.org/mobile/ [2]http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/gmae.html [3]http://flors.wordpress.com/2009/07/05/maemo-harmattan-keynote-at-gcds/ [4]http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2009/07/04/Nokia-GNOME-Mobile > About questions we'd love to hear why GNOME stuff became part of their > open source strategy, why they have choosen it at the very beginning > and how are they profiting from using it.

I wrote an email to Quim asking if he could help to understand how GNOME stuff became part of their open source strategy, and how they are profiting from using it, but I had no reply yet.

Re: Exploiting the Nokia N900 release
When you think Mobile, Think Gnome >From now on when you think of cell phones think of GNOME Mobile. The new freshly branded Nokia N900 is marking the next phase in the evolution of the Maemo open source platform, and Maemo is strongly powered by GNOME technologies. In fact the main Maemo components are from the GNOME Mobile Platform, a subset of the proven, widely used Linux GNOME Platform. In addition to the core user experience toolkit (GTK+), the platform includes crucial functionality such as multimedia support (GStreamer), instant messaging and presence (Telepathy), Bluetooth (BlueZ) and network service discovery (Avahi).
