Ah, I see. Well, the OMAP3 is definitely capable, and I hope Maemo 5 will be more open. Note that all the OMAP3 dev kits run linux (check out the beagleboard.org, and the Zoom dev kits) and are very open (we've finally managed to get all the components for doing AR going on a Beagleboard, for example).

So, I hope that it'll be possible. I assume when you refer to maemo 5, you are talking about the rumored next gen tablet (N900)?
