Nokia bets on Linux in iPhone battle: sources | Technology | Reuters Been watching Maemo with interest for a while. It is Debian based, as is OpenWRT (I’m connecting via a DD-WRT repeater, but only because the crappy post-Cisco Linksys router only has 2MB Flash). http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo could turn out to predominate over Android in the long term, especially for larger devices, given that Android at the application level is limited to the Dalvik java-variant engine, whereas Maemo appears to support both QT and GTK, and can be coded for in at least c, c++ and python, meaning it is pretty wide-open. If it makes the jump from Nokia into the mobile ecosystem at large, it could become quite interesting.
