Nokia has been playing with OSS too... may be they want to put KDE in
the N series....
Nokia has "INdT -- Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia"  here in Brazil and
they say:
"...is focused on deploying innovative technological solutions on the
mobile communications area"
They use mainly OSS.
You that have a N800 (or N810) may have already used Canola (media
player) it was developed in one of these centers (in fact, here in Recife, BR).

These Institutes are organizing a conference next March an International
Conference on Open Source Software for Mobile Embedded Platforms

There are a lot of speakers in KDE....hmmm....interesting, isn't it?
As it is very near (50 km) I may go... just to see what is going on...

LinuxDevices.com has a nice collection of Linux-powered devices from
cell phone to set-top TV boxes, to robots. The site could be a hell of
a lot better organized but there's a lot of information there. On that
note, I'll save you the trouble of locating the appropriate link. [
