Nokia N810 internet tablet
,----[ Quote ]
| The heart of the N810 is a Linux-derived OS called OS2008. As far as
| operating systems go it's nothing too flash but it does the job with a
| minimum of confusion and ambiguity, and more to the point does it quickly.

'Thanks' to some sellouts, it looks like Mono and other Microsoft rubbish is
coming to these tablets. de Icaza wanted to infect Android also (at VM
level)... he works for Microsoft, but gets the pay from Novell, which now
openly calls Microsoft "a partner".
Dispelling the Mystery of Android

| A mobile Linux operating system is a complete system stack integrated with
| all the software components needed to operate a mobile device.
|
| It includes device drivers, Linux kernel, system utilities, mobile middleware
| (such as security, device management, provisioning, etc.), and an application
| framework (in this case Android) that supports applications for the end
| device such as browser, address book, mail, messaging, audio/video players,
| etc. (Figure 1)
|
| [...]
|
| With our early prototyping of the Android framework, not only have we gained
| invaluable "head start" insights and experience concerning Android, we have
| become a strong believer of its potential success as a de facto application
| development platform standard -- a critical enabler toward mobile Linux
| ubiquity.
