Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Can someone help finding a picture? I saw it during the Nokia World days but can't find it.

There was a Nokia speaker in front and then a slide projected in the background with few boxes. One of them mentioned "commitment to open source", or something similar. It was a developer oriented session, but I can't recall which one and nor even the speaker.........

I believe it was linked from a t.m.o thread, perhaps hosted in twitpic. Sorry for the lame hints but there was a big amount of data and this is all what my poor brain has kept. Thanks in advance.

Also, isn't Android limited to only Java, and a non-standard Java too (although, perhaps, in minor ways)?
