[Posted June 28, 2005 by ris]

GnomeDesktop covers GNOME Deutschland's visit to LinuxTag. "The ten-person exhibition team from Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, and Britain distributed over 1000 Ubuntu CDs to the visitors to the Linux event. Worldwide, there are now more than 1.5 million CDs with Ubuntu and GNOME in use."

"A further highlight of the GNOME presence was the presentation of the new Nokia Internet Tablet which visitors could try out at the Nokia and GNOME stands. The PDA runs with a version of the GNOME Desktop."

Omitted from the article was the site where you can get the Gnome based development environment (setup is not for the inexperienced) for the Nokia Internet Tablet a.k.a. Nokia 770.

While it's great that Nokia are using linux I'd also like to point out that they are one of the driving forces behind the attempt to introduce software patents to Europe and as such, I won't be buying their phones or internet tablets any time soon.
