Hey, something's fishy about this claim.

How can it have a PowerVR chipset and be "open"?

PowerVR are so closed that they've ruined Intel's previously glowing reputation for open graphics for Linux. (In fact they're not even providing decent closed graphics for Linux either. Search for Linux + Poulsbo.)

If you're going to call a device that has major closed source components "open" and "not controlled by a corporate entity" - well, N900 satisfies that definition too.

You realise you don't have to run the Nokia official version of Maemo on your N900, don't you?

I like my devices as open as I can get, too. The N900 is disappointing in many respects, in that department. But I don't see that OpenPandora is any better, unless they have managed to produce some open source drivers that Nokia have not? In which case, that would be absolutely wonderful as we could port those drivers to the N900
