Well, I don't know if it's too late to ask, and it may be a little off topic as it doesn't really concern the OS related stuff, but:

- Is there any way for Nokia to make starting/setting up development for Maemo a little easier by offering a stand alone dev distro like an updated live cd for those that would rather not have to jump head first into a Linux installation? Or even those of us that are still "green" to Linux and don't want to have to spend hours (or days even) setting up the development environment, risking the possibility of incorrect/incomplete/unstable scenarios that could eventually leak into final applications causing various complications for users and developers alike?

- And how feasible would it be to provide a developer's edition of the 770/N800/etc. with a multi-boot setup and options for simply running the various OS binaries from the memory card without having to similarly risk lots of time and effort getting started in application testing?

Thanks again. I hope future development of these devices get to the point where more of the community are more comfortable with helping to continue building the mobile platform even further.rther.
