[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] OS2006 roadmap

[From: Álvaro J. Iradier]

I am quite disappointed too. If 770 software would be fully open
sourced, there would be no problem. But I feel like i've been cheated,
and now I'm trapped with a device with unsupported software (opera,
flash, etc.), and I guess main 770 developers will move to N800
attracted by the 99€ offer.
