Hi,
Reviving this thread briefly, I'm surprised I've not seen any mention of
the Palm Pre during it, it's even due out this month (though exclusive to
02) and generated quite a buzz when launched in the US earlier this year.
Also has anybody seen a confirmed release date for the Nokia N900?

Hello Folks
I've just stumbled across a news item[1] which mentions LiMo[2],
apparently "the first truly open, hardware-independent, Linux-based
operating system for mobile devices".
Vodafone have just announced a new phone that will run LiMo; their
