I am encouraged by the fact that GNOME is making a public display of support for a good mobile/embedded platform. I think it is a great step. Hopefully it will encourage companies to share more. It can only help to have GNOME participating as well in this arena. The website is a bit sparse. My major complaint is that it does not link to any code (like say to the hildon framework). Nor does it provide any help to people who may want to participate. But I am sure that will improve over time.

Generally speaking, the less code there is, the less bugs there are, and the faster it runs with less memory usage. Win, win, win, win for end users.
If a average PC user can go from something slow like Vista to something fast like Gnome could be without having to sacrifice any important features or comforts then it'll make Linux look that much more attractive.
Plus having open embedded systems and be able to integrate well with Linux desktops would be a great thing.

What are you talking about? Vista slow? On my Dual Xeon with 4GB of ram and 512MB of graphics memory it runs fine ;-)
