Hey Guys,
I think we have a bunch of opportunity. We have free different UI's, we had once the OpenMoko (and the full documentation still exists) - and even we could try to run a full gnome 3 on mobile UI. After I have seen many things, including Motorola's Atrix, and the MoDu (modular phone leading by an engineer from Sandisk), and even low power consuming modular ARM based servers, I don't understand why don't have Red Hat support to MIPS, ARM platforms.
The most of the new generation phones are mostly becoming an tiny universal server (with multiple cores) in the pocket digged deeply into the cloud services. This it what we have to follow, and I think we fedorians have several advantage already. We have an company behind who are pro in between servers, and cloud and virtualisation, right? Imagene this on mobile platform.... Take out your phone from your pocket, and you could set up immediatelly an servers chained up in network, and works as router, firewall, samba share and more....
I am a huge, huge fan of something Fedora-esque on "mobile" devices. I love the vision you are presenting.
I'd love to see some sort of convergence of Meego with Fedora.
Redhat might have $1B in revenue, but I think they are missing something equally large in the mobile device market. I'm not sure how they would harness the revenue stream, but given what Nokia is paying M$oft for whatever they call their mobile operating system, I'm sure its possible to do.
FWIW, I own an N900. I bought it expecting it would one day run Meego.
