Wanted it when it first showed up, could'nt buy it until recently.
Could this
http://www.aavamobile.com/
Be the new "hardware" for maemo5??? I'v found it in Meego Site
Installing meego on ava
https://www.meego.com/devices/handse...ego-nokia-n900
Installing meego on n900
https://www.meego.com/devices/handse...ego-nokia-n900
So, if meego can run in n900 and ava, maybe (With some source packages) maemo could run in ava
So, the idea for pushing for sources and drives (If nokia will release them) and an ava "hardwade" could let us to build n900 "from scratch", how cool could ite be????
Some with more resources, wits orr drivel than me can peek up the challenge :-)
MeeGo is neither something nor nothing for the N900 and if "aavamobile" can do any better, then they are doing more than the whole of this community has done to date !.

Why don't we create our own mobile open mobile OS on devices for devices that are generally pretty hackable like the HTC HD2, Archos Gen 7 and Gen 8, Nokia N900, Tegra 2 Devices, Samsung Galaxy Tab ETC. We could make a replacement for Angstrom and make an os to run whatever hardware you want, rather than waiting for new hardware to come out. We should call it Noblix.

The community was so far hardware/vendor dependant, which led to the limited life from the early beginning.
The vendor dependant way, was so far to abandon the older hardware and accept/buy a new one.
Just try to compare price tag trend of 770, N800, N810, N900, and N9.
It rises monotonously upwards.

Also Noblix would stand for "Non Nokia Mobile Linux". Also the name for the repo could be appchanel. Just some ideas. I really can't code, but I would be more than willing to be a beta tester/Guinea pig.

And in related news http://apps.formeego.org is showing some progress.
Hopefully they got the funding sorted out by now and can focus on getting the repos up.

Nokia != MeeGo. Nokia is only over Harmattan.
However earlier, there was a statement that MeeGo could go onto Tegra 2 devices. Not fully sure where that was picked up, but unless Nvidia is giving out previously not given out drivers, not wholly true.

The trimslice (google it) community got special builds of those drivers for MeeGo's 'hardfp' ABI

OK. So we have a bit more silence on this thread and I would like to know where did us bring all this talking? What are the decisions? Which road is maemo going to go?
