Hi guys,
i guess you all must have heard about Nokia 770 its a Linux based Internet
tablet that can use bluetooth Wi-FI to connect to the net n has a host of
other feature. And its dedicated for Internet i.e. no phone. For developers
interested in it, it uses a development platform called
maemo(www.maemo.org<http://www.maemo.org>).
That is basically GTK+ only but with some modifications to make it optimum
for the mobile device. SO most of your GTK+ code should work wtht
significant changes. CHeck out the maemo site it has a cool developer
tutorial.
But one thing struck me about the nokia main site for the device(
www.nokia.com/770 <http://www.nokia.com/770>) it does not even mention the
term Linux or Open source. Dont know why that is??
Regards,
Puneet

So would it be possible to have ssh on such a device? any such mobile device with
ssh ability would make me one of their first customers for sure.

I am sure it will have that ability because it mentions checking email as
one of the features so i guess nowadays SSL is taken for granted.. And i
would consider it a pretty sub standard INTERNET tablet if it was to be
without ssl.. But one problem they right now only have plans to launch it in
some parts of europe and america so.. u cant buy it here for a year
atleast...
