I believe we should start to petition Nokia for offcial support to sio2interactive. If they can support the Maemo stars, they really should be able to support SIO2. Buy the SDK from them or at least support the port to Maemo!
Probably the easiest way to get Maemo games started for real.
keljuk: No for quake & openarena they are using GLES v1 you have to download the .so from another repository, as it doesn't comes by default on the platform.

Maemo stars are fully open source projects run by non-commercial entities. SIO2 is a dual license thing (+ a company) which adds a lot more complexity to the issue (and remember, Nokia was willing to fork over LGPL vs GPL !)
Yes, but I think this case is about momentum, marketing and mass acceptance. Everyone would benefit in Nokia sponsoring/buying/supporting a port of SIO2 to Maemo.
The demo guy is an obvious Apple fanboy and not a developer of any calibre. Anyone with a lick of sense would know a 2x increase in resolution will effect performance.
If he's an Apple fanboy, why is he developing software for Maemo?
I don't have much experience on Apple products, but reading the internet forums it seems most people would agree with him that iPhone touchscreen is more responsive than that of N900 and therefore especially better for games.

I did not see this. You clearly are either unappreciative, daft or incredibly dense.
A dev of calibre... look at what he's done. Compare to what's been done so far. I'd say his worth is already establish, as are his skills. And his observations about Nokia's OVI, something he has paid into already... shows his commitment.
I had to check out their site and indeed it says gles 2.0
