Hi guys, i guess you all must have heard about Nokia 770 its a Linux based
Internet
tablet that can use bluetooth Wi-FI to connect to the net n has a host of other feature. And its dedicated for Internet i.e. no phone. For
developers
interested in it, it uses a development platform called maemo(www.maemo.org http://www.maemo.orghttp://www.maemo.org). That is basically GTK+ only but with some modifications to make it
optimum
for the mobile device. SO most of your GTK+ code should work wtht significant changes. CHeck out the maemo site it has a cool developer tutorial. But one thing struck me about the nokia main site for the device( www.nokia.com/770 http://www.nokia.com/770 http://www.nokia.com/770)
it does not even mention the
term Linux or Open source. Dont know why that is??
Dear Puneet, The linux mention is on the detailed features page... http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,75023,00.html Quote : "The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet's software is upgradeable and currently runs on the Linux-based Internet Tablet 2005 software edition. There is a planned launch next year of an operating system upgrade – the Internet Tablet 2006 software addition – that will support additional services, including Internet telephony (VoIP) and Instant Messaging."
Just my 2 bits.
