Ubuntu's mobile environment targets a platform that's not a PDA or a mobile phone platform. They would like to build a platform very much like Nokia's maemo. The project has taken off with over 250 people on the mailing list. The approach is different from most others in that it does not require (afaict) a cross platform compile environment. It is not clear as to how this will be different from OpenMoko or Maemo. Ubuntu claims that its components will be free and open, unlike, say, Maemo's which has Opera pre-packaged. Their focus is supposedly a much better user experience. Of course, there is no release as yet, so its a wait and see situation. In case you were wondering what Intel's moblin.org is for, it is a site for graphical tools for building the system for Ubuntu Mobile Environment. The first release of the UME will be aligned with 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).

I wonder if I will be able to run this thing on my Nokia 770...
