Maemo Or Android?

[Drack]

The only real reason to run another OS is for the apps.

So, what apps run on maemo or android that don't run on linux?

Well, there's "Maemo Mapper", for example..
It's probably not too hard to port (although I haven't looked), it would probably be part replacing Hildon calls with original gtk calls, and part to modify any Maemo/osso-specific gps and/or bluetooth calls. But I'm mostly guessing here.

remember hildon recently got open-sourced. that should allow us to make a maemo-wrapper for maemo-mapper

The Nokia tablets that run Maemo have true flash support, something that ARM Angstrom might not get for a while.

I'd like to see the new, yet unreleased Maemo on this I've seen videos of it and it looks really slick. I think they are switching to QT for it.

Perhaps, though, Angstrom will be more customizable anyways.
