Moblin and Ubuntu platforms are based on GTK+ and the Maemo Hildon extensions, so at least the interfaces should be compatible.<br><br>As for distribution - you can't build fully open maemo based distribution for the N8x0 hardware (yet, though Mer tries), since part of its drivers are closed or controlled by closed userspace daemons, but most other parts are open so its probably possible for other hardware.<br>

Hi, everybody<br>
<br>
Sorry to put the topic here, I know this is a Dev focus mail list but I can<br>
not find any other mail list for this topic<br>
<br>
If you took a look at Mobile Internet Device market, for the software<br>
platform players, maemo, mobilin, unbuntu and probably android are there,<br>
but looks like only Nokia tablet device is maemo based.<br>
<br>
So my question is "Possible for other company to utilize maemo platform to<br>
build their own device?"<br>
<br>
Technical perspective, I saw from some blogs saying that you can not get<br>
100% necessary components from <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a>. Does that mean definitely you can<br>
not build a maemo device without special support from Nokia?<br>
<br>
BR,<br>
