What amazes me is that there are no projects (right?) out there that seek to replace the OS and/or desktop provided by Maemo. I mean, even the 64MB of 770 is a lot of space, but it is wasted on that Gnomish abomination. Both these devices have a lot of untapped potential.
Think something like what http://www.rockbox.org does for iPods.
(Yeah, I know. I should be doing it instead of whining)

the platform is not as open as you think. a lot of the hardware is driven by binary modules for example. bbsicly they just want people to write apps for it and not much else. i'm going tn try tn roll my own rootfs with qtopia or gpe but im not entirely sure of the legality of that.
