Nokia is now scouting about for new application ideas around the N800, its latest Linux-enabled tablet. At the same time, though, the company has no plans to stray from its choice of an essentially Debian Linux-based platform, or from its concept of the N800 as a device geared to on-the-go Internet connectivity, according to Ari Jaaksi, Nokia's director of open source software.
"The N800 is a device that lives and breathes 'Internet,'" Jaaksi said, during an interview with LinuxPlanet at last week's LinuxWorld OpenSolutions show in New York.
