[svlug] Nokia 770 and its Maemo platform

[Paul Reiber]

I'm pretty impressed with the Nokia770,
from what I've seen so far...
-> handheld debian
-> open source applications & more coming
-> reasonable ergonomics
-> non-proprietary connectivity

This particular handheld linux solution seems to have a chance of surviving!
