(this is genuine curiosity, last I heard the open wifi driver wasn't completely functional and couldn't work alongside the dsp)

Wireless works.. although I have troubles using network-manager that comes default with this install.. it disconnects after 10-15 minutes and won't ever reconnect to my network. If I configure it manually (using wpa_supplicant & dhcpd) it will stay connected all day. Don't know why.
Sound I don't know...

You're getting too excited if you think any company that wants to sell devices releases their schematics officially.

BTW, I searched for the schematics on the G1 and can't find any "official" schematics on the T-Mobile site, nor HTC's one.

Please! do us a favor then and compile for us a useable latest kernel (2.6.29-rc3) and if DPS, sound, GPS, bluetooth, WiFi, cpufreq, production mode, CPU retention and probably many other things _works_ in Maemo, Mer, whatever: you are done, you prove me wrong.Don't you really get it, the real message, do you? Repeat after me:
"The _only_ working kernel for current Nokia Internet Tablets is the 2.6.21 Nokia production release".
God now that I want that people prove me wrong on this, really...
I started working on fixing this situation, very slowly but progressing as far as a self-motivated non-expert could, but really, at least I decided to work for the common good.
Now that a real expert like you step up to the plate I'm glad I can finally RIP.

Any piece of HW will get old, G1 or N810, there is no difference. IMO the N810 is open enough. Support for new stuff on N810 will gradually fade due to loss of interest, not because the HW is closed.

PS. @Maemo councils: Ask Nokia to put 1 day all Linux engineers in a coding sprint to fix support for 770/N8x0 in recent kernels, that would be a good service to the community IMO.
