At Flors (Quim Gil's blog), there's this entry entitled "What the Nokia N810 means to maemo developers." It includes this: But in fact one of the most interesting news for software developers and open source enthusiasts is not tied to the N810 or Chinook, although it's influenced by both. Maemo is from now on a supported platform in Forum Nokia. This means a lot: Forum Nokia offers support to professional developers. This is what they do, and this is what maemo.org was/is not intended to do beyond community support. I think this means we're going to start seeing a lot more professional -- er, commercial -- applications on the Internet Tablets.
