People who want to know more about this device is recommended to come to GUADEC in Stuttgart starting this Saturday, where Nokia will do a presentation. The development of this device was done in cooperation with Fluendo, OpenedHand and Imendio.

This could really be a showca

This could really be a showcase for FOSS..

Reading the technical description really impressed on me how much time the company probably saved by going with the FOSS choices they did and modifying them for their needs.

Impressive.

I know software patents are bad, but this thing looks really good.. I am so confised.. I want one:)
