Please also note this mentioned avkon and other things they are saying they would
be doing there have very little if nothing to do with Maemo. It is a completely
different environment solving a different set of problems. The widget set
in S60 is quite different from the Maemo 5. You can easily see that if you
compare a S60 phone with N900. Maemo has been and is going to different direction,
so I think you can't use that in any valid comparison.
