Not sure what Samsung is aiming at here. 450$ for what is essentially a N810 WiMax clone with a minimal spec boost (except the camera) in 2009 Q3, cursed with WinMobile... I don't get it. Must be me not seeing something

I wouldn't call it a minimal specs boost. Looks interesting, though. I would still rather have an open OS, but the hardware looking interesting to me.

HDTVs with ARM inside?

I recall them being pretty glued to Ballmer Corp's butt, in fact they've even signed the Linux patent deal with them.

Maybe it's just the confucian corporate culture though.

OTOH some of their ARM-based WIMAX gear clearly runs Linux

I for one am very interested in getting a Mondi. I was hoping they would improve than anesthetics though.

We'll see what it bundles with (if anything) for that price.

Well, if the specs are the same, nothing says you couldn't put Maemo on it.

You can't put Maemo on it, maybe Mer.

To learn of his options perhaps?
