I just checked out the Pandora site. SWEET!!! Any thoughts on when this little unit will be available in Canada/North America?

Shame there is no planned Bluetooth hardware integration for this edition. I guess that's a future consideration for version 2.

We are doing our best to interact with the open source community - the outcome can be debatable and i agree that it's a mixed success in different areas.

However from kernel point of view i haven't seen any activity from the Pandora project on public mailing lists like linux-arm or linux-omap.

I don't know if they will pickup some of the code drops from TI or what, but it looks like they have not much support for a community of developers.

If you are just interested in the HW, well, ok but it still requires sw, right?

Possibly a community will rise around it.

And so what Nokia should care about? If more stuff comes out, maemo will benefit as well. Maybe even more than having just plain ports of applications. Hildonization is acceptable for better integration but personally i see little value in "porting" by adapting a certain application to maemo specific weirdness when a debian version would be otherwise already available.

So more devices similar to the internet tablets will rather improve the vitality of maemo itself.

Just like Nokia is not the only company using Symbian, I think it never expected to be alone in the linux effort.

Provocatory as it might seem, your signature is bogus at best and most certainly pointless.

I don't know what that means, other than that I --probably -- don't have Numptyphysics installed.
