2008OS on the 770
 
I realize this is totally premature since the 2008OS is so new but will there be a Hacker Edition of it (eventually) for use on the N770?

It's planned, yes.

I'm glad to hear it. I don't own a 770, but would be quite upset to learn that my 770 brethren are being left behind.

Thumbs up to Nokia for 2k8 on the 770.

Ah, the bliss of missing the 770 OS Wars.

:p

If this is the new way, my opinion is that Nokia learned very well from previous lesson :)
Proud 770-800 and future 810 owner (and some nice ideas for a new pim prog... if only finding some spare time!!!)

Wow really ?!?
I suppose it'll be another hacker edition, right ?

Yes. The promise was a bit vague and the release day may be far away but let's hope we'll see it.
For some details see 'What's next' here http://maemo.org/news/announcements/...189171468.html
last time it was mentioned here

Personally I hope the difference between 2008 and 2006 is so big it will make sense to finally ditch old 2.6.16 kernel in favor of 2.6.21 (or whatever comes with release version of OS2008 for N800 and 810). The kernel switch is a lot of work but it may be similar to work needed for patching OS2008 userspace stuff to work with old kernel.

As commented when we announced the last 2006 Hacker Edition, there are
plans and ongoing work to bring the HE up to Chinook levels. Note that
this is not the same as offering the OS2008 for the 770.
does that mean we're probably not gonna get a nice tidy package to install?

I suspect Quim means that OS2008HE on 770 will not be the same as OS2008 on N8x0, in the same way that OS2007HE is not the same as OS2007, yet both OS2007/OS2007HE firmwares are Bora compatible which means most applications built for OS2007 will install and run without complaint. Provided OS2008HE is compatible with Chinook, most applications built for the OS2008 on N8x0 will work just fine on the 770.

I guess Quim may also be trying to manage expectations by not promising some of the latest kernel features present in OS2008 which may not be possible (or too expensive to implement) on 770, such as dynamic frequency scaling etc.

As has been the case thus far, OS2008HE may be a mixture of the old and the new, which is better than nothing! :)
