This is a key point to me, Canola2 in addition to looking a "sexy media player" provides an alternative GUI framework from which we will be able to launch many home grown applications.

Hopefully because some elements of Canola2 are closed source, where others are open, Canola2 could just become the "conduit" framework enabling NIT Open-source development individuals to "just not really care anymore" about what Nokia decide to keep open and closed on the NIT's.

I believe Canola2 will be a real asset to keeping the closed and open source teams happy.

---edit--- Marcelo, Render moot = not required for general day to day use of NIT [My understanding, yours & others may vary ]
