There is indeed an item in the Gears issue tracker for Maemo support. It has some information about things you can try if you've a technical bent, including what looks like an initial port that was done back in 2007. I have a feeling that once Fennec is released as 1.0, there's a strong chance it'll get easier to install Gears on our Nokias.

I'm going to fuss with it for a while, there are enough reports of people getting it to work that I'm hopeful.

Hi,
I tried installing gears through firefox and got the following message:

Anything new on the possibility of this being made available for the n900? Does anyone know whether the update to pr1.2 make any new options open up for us in this regard?

I believe Google discontinued Gears (and I think they open sourced it?) but they're not doing anything with it anymore.
