[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Maemo and Independent software vendors orcommercial software vendors

[From: David Briggs]

Absolutely!

I have joined in the developer program because I am a hobby hacker of
embedded devices (which explains why I work for a company that engineers
and programs embedded devices).  My reasons for wanting to work with and
improve the 770 are personal, but I could easily see my company
utilizing these devices if they are proven worthy.  That is the key.
The longer it takes people to get one into their grubby hands, the
longer it is going to take for niche markets to see the value (or have
any input).
