+1 for this. In fact, I'd love to see Jolla running on all sorts of devices, particularly non-phone portable hardware. I've come to the opinion that cell-hardware is poison -- it ties you to the cell manufacturer, to the phone service provider, and potentially to all sorts of governmental or non-governmental bodies who want to tap in to and follow your device.

So far as I can tell, the only reason why there is such a dearth of homebuilt portable devices these days is that you just can't create your own cell phone and get away with it. I would love to see a world where the phone and the PDA become split apart again, where computing devices can advance again without being beholden to the phone companies, and phones can go back to not containing all your personal information...
