This makes a lot of sense and has been suggested numerous times on
this list already. Dude, an Ubuntu based maemo (or maemo based ubuntu
;) would seriously rock. Handing over (collaborating on) the distro
with Ubuntu (which they evidently do very well) would allow Nokia to
concentrate on what it does very well which is shipping extremely well
tested, consumer accessible devices to lots of markets with reduced
economies of scale.

The problem with Hildon is the GTKWindow to HildonWindow substitution
which is the root of what Neil was talking about (this is not a
criticism just an observation). Anything which means my app is not
write once run anywhere is a bug as far as I am concerned
