Must say the only drawback for me is the whole hildonizing that needs to be done to the applications after you find one that compiles and work.

I look past having to hildon the apps I compile, because I don't know how to go about doing it. Tried, but fail everytime I do.

waiting on ubuntu to drop the embedded OS.
Hopefully I can install it on MMC.

Ignoring the fact that there's going to be neither Ubuntu Mobile nor Ubuntu Embedded for the 770/N800, you expect to be able to cross-compile applications for such a small screen (no matter what the resolution) and have them usable without any further work? You're living in a dream world...

Now, much of the basic Hildonisation could be done at the Gtk+ level, rather than the application level; but this would require a *lot* more work to get it upstream or a redesign of the core of Hildon.

If anyone *does* fancy recompiling Gtk+ at any point, get in touch, I've got a few ideas for you (they may even get upstream)...
