True that mobile OS is not easy to get to from desktop OS. I assume when you say Maemo, you mean fremantle. And when you say mobile, you mean cellphone.

I sometimes think we might be better off letting go of the cellphone hw adaptations and target a N8x0 era solution consisting of a (let it be closed because we can't get it open anyways) small cellphone w/ bt pairing to open source tablet. That opens up the options a bit. I know that is limited and puts a lot of people off, but better a small success than a large failure.

Good to have you back.
No, when I say mobile, I really mean mobile. As in, cellphones, tablets, netbooks, etc. Anything that's low power and has to move around in the physical world.

N8x0 and especially 770 shared the same issues. That's why Maemo is the way it is.

Back is a strong word and it's more likely I won't be spending terribly much time on N8x0, N900 or even N950/N9 except for my own personal interests except for anything that comes indirectly through Mer and Nemo efforts on top of hardware adaptations for these devices.
