All I want and all we need is Firefox, Eclipse, a terminal and Openoffice and plain and simple menus with it.
I don't understand your point... you seem to argue for simplicity and against bloat, but then you mention Eclipse (which according to people who *like* it regularly needs *gigabytes* of RAM) and Openoffice?
Well, I've had a Maemo device since 2007, and a couple of my friends have Android devices, so I'm not really sure what your point is. I don't really like either, but I'd probably choose Maemo because it runs X11 and so it's much easier to port programs to. You can run OpenOffice, for example, on a sufficiently powerful Maemo device, but porting it to Android would be a lot more effort.
I would if I had mod points. Parent is spot on, we've transitioned away from "cloud computing" when we moved from mainframe terminals to desktop workstations, why would we want to go backwards?
Gimicks are gimicks. They are not the future of video games. In modern games, I need to control movement of a character in 3D environment, while maintaining camera control and awareness, and while maintaining quick acess to broad array of functionality and abilities, all while making room for meta and system controls. How do I do this by waving my arms or shaking the controller? How would you perform all the functions needed in say, Super Mario World with a motion control system, while retaining the same level of responsiveness and control. You can't. The standard controller is a proven method of such control and this has not happened by accident but rather by design, and it would be the height of folly to disregard that
I guess someone here didn't play Super Mario Galaxy

Rumor is it'll be built using Linux and Enlightenment. Hardly new or incompatible.
Won't it run as a userspace driver? Imagine the performance hit.
Weird!!! I've tried Gnome and was like...WTF is this?? So I went back to BlackBox.
BlackBox is cleaner and faster in my opinion.

Use BlackBox
Ethiopia is landlocked.
True, PSP brings nothing new in terms of gameplay or fun, and this is reflected on its sparse library and low sales.
There is nothing wrong with the DS as is, I just wish there was a way to hook it to my TV.
I hope it is not just pixels stretched.

That's a reason NOT to choose Maemo!
IYou can get a 2TB drive these days, but very few people could even begin to fill that.
I just did you insensitive clod!
Metal Gear Solid 4 is on a dual layer blu-ray disk, I think we are already past 25GB.
Life without walls.
Why would you then need Windows?
Microsoft open sourcing WinMo confirmed?
ditto
I'm a libertarian who isn't a republican

Like George W. Bush and the Republican party.
Seriously, game developers, stop bloody forcing me to shake the controller.
