[maemo-users] Which OS for which tablet?

[From: Ryan Pavlik]

If the "unsupported" nature of IT2007 hacker edition doesn't scare you 
(probably won't considering you got the device second hand), I've heard 
generally positive results there, with good compatibility.  The 2008 
version is more of a tech demo from what I've read and not actually too 
usable (feel free to disprove this), and 2006 is "supported" but pretty 
outdated by now.
