A sheep on a unicycle

| Symbian, one of the oldest of old school
| mobile institutions, has seen some changes
| of late. Thereâs an open source bandwagon
| rolling through the industry and Symbianâs
| on it along with Google, the Open Handset
| Alliance, LiMo and the many other flavours
| of Linux. But Symbianâs taken the whole open
| source thing to [its big yellow] heart,
| shifting from a for-profit venture to a not-
| for-profit organisation, along with a whole
| new touchy-feely brand.

Hands On Nokia N900 smartphone demo
,----[ Quote ]
| We managed to get a little quality time with the
| Nokia N900 smartphone running Maemo and Linux. This
| smartphone, sporting killer specs and 3G HSDPA for T-
| Mobile US and Europe should begin shipping in the
| next few weeks. Notice how quick the device is when
| switching between desktop screens and applications--
| the multitasking is very impressive thanks to 256
| megs of RAM and virtual memory that brings it up to 1
| gig of application RAM.
