The mention of a java version of skype (above) made me think about the possibilities of java on the new platform.
I've played with Jalimo on my N800 and it's nice, but not being hildonized, it can't do what I need (freemind without a keyboard for one example, not running so slowly I want to cry for another).

To the point:
Has anyone heard any news at all about whether or not Nokia is (finally) willing to license Jazelle (Java directly on the OMAP3 hardware) for Maemo 5/RX-51?
This could really make it a fantastically versatile and powerful platform... imagine hardware accelerated Android (just one example), not to mention all of the software that would immediately become available/usable.
Is it really that expensive that, given a mass-produced product, the price is too large of a percentage of the resulting device to be feasible?

(I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything... sorry if this has been discussed since the N810 was released)
