> the computer we normally use have OS X installed on it.
I don't as I'm using Debian on my workstation. It beats OS X for development purposes (I've worked on a Macbook for 2 years prior to this).
Other than that, saying that Linux is ready for the desktop is just wishful thinking. It may be for grandma that only surfs the web, until one day when she receives a webcam from her nephew.
But we are talking about a phone released by Nokia with Maemo, a Linux distro sponsored by Nokia, on top of hardware that's designed to work with Maemo, with components picked or developed by Nokia.
The chances of success are great. And Nokia even started an iTunes Store equivalent (www.ovi.com).
I don't know, I'm hoping this leads to something because a lack of competition hurts the market.
