It would be great if they would!

I think it would be a wonderful good-will offering to the open source
community to share some of their hardware designs with us, too! This one
isn't really a big deal, is it? Nothing super-proprietary or secret?

Last year, the Maemo division was formed to handle both software AND
hardware for Maemo devices. Can we start to see some opening up of the
hardware side, now, too?

Please?
