[maemo-community] Events in 2009

[From: Tim]

	Hehe. Well, it's more than that... Really. It is where companies
unveil their coolest new entertainment-based gagets to the press and
public. Yes, it's probably not right up Maemo's alley, but it might
generate more sales for Nokia than any of the open source conferences.
Just a thought.

 Hi,
 Isn't E3 the games conference with all the booth babes?
 I'm failing to see how that's aligned with Maemo...
 Cheers,
 Dave.
