I remember getting Opie to work on my Ipaq. It still works BTW. We have GPE. We have Trolltech's Qtopia. There's Google's Android. How many are there? Way back in the day people said it was a pipe dream. Then everything is reinvented. I guess it would be nice to know why the various projects were started as well.

It's not really clear why Google decided they had to make their own new technology...

Perhaps it has to do with companies starting open source projects from scratch. That may be good. I wonder why some of the existing projects were no used. Are there technical problems?

Linux kernel, X.org, Debian tools, HAL, Dbus, GStreamer, Telepathy, GTK+... What is more important, Nokia has made all this development quite in sync with the respective upstream projects, hiring developers from there, working with companies from their ecosystem, contributing patches back and etc. More at <a href="http://maemo.org/development/documentation/maemo-quick-start-guide.pdf">maemo quickstart guide</a> (PDF).
