Cripes. When will they learn (I missed that though, d'oh!)...

If that proves to be true, will it be used also on the n800 or will it be a n810 thing only?

The Ti OMAP Linux Gaming SDK (that's a mouthful) has a ~1MB kernel module called pvr.ko to interface with the PowerVR MBX. I suggest looking for something along these lines....

I don't see why it wouldn't be a N800 thing too Luca. Seeing as both the N800 and 810 will have the same OS, and the N800 will have it's clock "refreshed", why not the Accel chip too?

Given the basic hardware shared between the two, I would think that (other than keyboard and GPS) what affects one in the 2008 OS would affect both.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to argue here. What's so great about Linux? Are the end users that you refer to going to care that it uses a monolithic kernel rather than a hybrid? The SDHC bug had to be tracked down within Nokia, so it's not clear how an open source kernel helps when you have closed hardware.

If you mean the OS as a whole, are there virtues of X11 over display PDF going to win over the consumer crowd? Are iPhone users going to be jealous of our application manager and repository system?

Seriously though, I don't think a Linux vs BSD/OS X argument is going to have anything to do with the success of these two systems. Usability and stability are going to be much more important.

Given the number of times that the browser or other application has caused my 770 to reboot, I'd say "linux" still has a long way to go.

Like I said, it's internal. Only Nokia employess can access it, sorry.

You put on your flameproof suit?



EDIT: seriously, I think you may be trying to read too much into the statement... all I mean is that Linux is open, iPhone OS is not. Yeah, yeah, I'm well aware the IT brand is not fully open, but still...
