Actually, you are the holy grail of potential customers. The mantra is, "Win Karel, win the world!"

Well, Android might still turn out to be the competing device platform, but T-Mobile's Android offering isn't going to be competitive with anyone. Right now, I think I'm waiting to see what the next android device will be. Especially with rumors of non-phone devices out there, as well.

You're making the assumption that everything at the summit was Nokia preaching to the community.

Wrong. So far wrong to be laughable!

It was a community summit, paid for by Nokia. There were a mix of talks from Nokia employees about the upcoming changes to the Maemo platform and many more contributions from the community showing their work to each other.

The reference to you was that writing little web apps on the tablet, and running them in Python gives you - as a developer and user - freedom to move to one device to another, taking your apps with you.

Good talk, very interesting :-)

May become even more viable with faster start-up time of the browser in the future and other Prsim-based technologies.

Would be cool to have some kind of iUI library for Maemo to make web apps which look more like polished "real" apps; like iUI did for the iPhone web apps.
