Open doesn't have anything to do with officially supporting certain hardware. What open does do is enable the community to step up and provide that support.

Same place as the Diablo sources.

Paymantle . . . clever. Mer is actually using a lot of the current Fremantle sources.

My own vision is to use Mer as a base for a Fremantle backport to OMAP2 hardware, and why would that even be possible? Because of Nokia's openness.
