Considering that the gt04 could (possibly) run freemantle
and considering the beaglebone black has had successes with standard fremantle...and (naturally extrapolated) it may work on the pyra...(possibly even the pandora).
I do not consider anything a setback.
If it can be done on the beagle...on the gta04
there must be other devices.
Attacking the issue by only going down one road with a single device is not as sure fire as multiple options.
Building devices...salvaging parts from others to build them even ...is an option...making freemantle function on other devices and not just the neo900 ...is even better. If it is possible. It means that maemo becomes future proof.
This (being common knowledge) Maemo is essentially debian it's just the touch sensitivity and the look.
I'm not much to look at in the devel category...
And I'm not even going to guess at the nightmare involved.
But even tweaking a debian distro to feel like freemantle...like maemo...would be an accomplishment.
I admit I'm not as savvy on the n900 side as n800/810 side...slooowly changing that.
Recently I've been goofing around with x11vnc ...It's been done up the ying-yang I know...with desktops and laptops...but I was curious what functionality it would have to a convertible touchscreen laptop...(I know the big difference tween vnc and the distro on device....even still....(having a huge touchscreen and keyboard alternative enviroment is reallll nice...even if it is only pseudo-maemo ) on my n800 and tightvnc on toshiba portege touchscreen convertible pc's (m200/m700/m780) just to see what works...touchscreen wise... more than pretty interesting...I haven't been able to stop playing with it. ..shy of a couple things so far..like drawing apps it works wonderfully on the toshibas..
Well...nuff of my droning on....you get my idea there anyway
Wrapping it up..there must be more than one option ALWAYS.
....
and that's that ..I think it's great this kinda discussion is happening...ok...done
