Well, there's always something "better" around the corner that will break compatibility with the "now." I look forward to Ubuntu, but I can certainly wait. Maemo is doing the job just fine for now.

I agree. Unless Ubuntu will completely replace maemo I will wait. Running KDE or Ubuntu on top of maemo is not a replacement of maemo.

I just want an actual port of RealPlayer for ARMEL/Debian devices, instead of some half-baked plugins that barely work.

Thats surprising that you say that, most people including me HATE Realplayer the app, the maemo media player handles real media very well IMHO without the horror that is realplayer.

The plugins do not work in all instances where RealPlayer is needed. Even the mplayer plugin did not do what I needed.

That's just me though. How hard would it be to compile Real's existing package for Linux to ARMEL/Debian?

If the source is available, it shouldn't be that hard. Why not give it a try?

Um, just to mention that Real and Helix players are non-oss.

I thought Helix was open source? (with dodgy licenses or something)
Maximos: But you know that N800 comes with Helix GStreamer codecs right?

Second paragraph. Without these the Helix player won't be of much use.

Interesting read (the mojo pdf) indeed.

I like the naming of the distribution for the newest-

"grumpy"
