[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] What will be your next Maemo device

[From: Erik Bågfors]

My first thinking when it comes to this is to port maemo to an
existing machine, such as a IPAQ which already runs linux and today
GPE.

But Maemo is so much nicer than GPE.  The screen is really different
on the IPAQ and the 770. And changing the orientation between
landscape or not, is very important on the IPAQ.
