Nokia's N900[1] is a relatively open smartphone running the Maemo

which is/was primarily for Netbooks. If you haven't heard the news[4], Intel and Nokia
have agreed to merge the Maemo and Moblin projects into a new project called MeeGo[5],
hosted by the Linux Foundation.
So what's so cool about this for the fans of this list? "We are using F12 ARM
release to bootstrap MeeGo using the OBS build system[6] ARM architecture
support."[7] Suddenly Fedora ARM has gone from relative obscurity to being the
foundation for one of the most innovative hardware/software packages out there. Very cool.

Have fun,

That's awesome!!! I do however think its a little funny that the
opensuse build service is being used to bootstrap Fedora, but more
power to open source collaboration :)
