... "Speaking at the Embedded Linux Conference in Mountain View this week, Christian showed an N800 tablet running the GIMP, an open source image processing package that he said worked well on the device. "

Does that mean that it is possible in the not so far away future to run GIMP even with OS2008. Although this is Ubuntu port it shouldn't be
too difficult to port it to Maemo? I always thought that GIMP would be too impractical: slow and memory hungry with clunky interface for my N800. How can it run "well"?
