Very cool demo videos. Runs on Nokia 770 and Nokia n800. - webtechgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I really liked the Ars post the best and felt it might be worthy of another try. Sorry for the dupe though, and thanks for understanding guys. Dupes, mainly, are a nuisance, but sometimes a story that was submitted is submit again in a different package and at a different time of day and *pow* it makes the front page. That's cool. As long as the reader gets the story.
- Tyr7BE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Why don't you just change the theme and icons? You know it's themable, right? Go to http://gnome-look.org or http://art.gnome.org and pick whatever smooth rounded theme engine you like. GTK does its drawing with cairo so there are plenty of themes out there that look like eye sex.
- shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12i don't understand, for whatever reason those "dupes" didn't make front page.. (submitted at a non optimal time, written up poorly, linked to a poor quality article or whatever the reason)
personally i think that if this makes front page i think it deserves it regardless of whether similar stories were previously submitted... - Tyr7BE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Basically, very few people give a crap about anything but the front page. If enough people discover a story to make it to the front page, it takes off. But if not, it sits there and simmers, even if it is good news. This one happened to make the front page, so off it goes.
- segphault, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10It would be a dupe if this topic had already made it to the front page, but it hasn't. None of those other stories have more than 30 diggs. It's worth noting that this article has more information than any of those. This is how digg is supposed to work. Multiple different articles about the same thing can be submitted and users choose which one is the best.

....Because we all know good UI's are all about rounded corners and shiny gradients.
Anything else is archaic. - unikuser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think you are talking about windows mobile.
With all linux based mobiles coming up, many are using gnome in mobiles, but they are incompatible. If the main stream developers do something from their side, with a common standard, then things will be easy for all. I don't see any reason why linux based appliances take more power than windoz based appliances. - FirefighterBlu3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1in other news, fone makers announce a new style of phone that comes with a 1/2 inch thick cable to a backpack you wear that contains an additional 500G harddrive for gconf preferences and an 8G of DDR2-1000 ram module paired with a dual 3.2Ghz CPU to aid the phone.
current talk time is about 3.7 seconds with a standby time of 17 seconds. MFRs are hoping to extend this to 1 minute by Q3 of 2009 - sremick, on 10/12/2007, -11/+12Geesh how many more times are you people going to dupe this same story?
Dupe:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNOME_Mobile_and_Embedded_Initative (The first one)
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Gnome_Announces_New_Mobile_and_Embedded_Initiative
http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNOME_Mobile_and_Embedded_Initiative_Launched
http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNOME_Mobile_and_Embedded_Initiative_Announced
http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNOME_Mobile_and_Embedded_Initiative_Launched_2 - CrushedByRocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My Grandma has Gnomes embedded in her front garden. She is way ahead of the curve on this one.
- ilobmirt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dupes aside, I like the fact that gnome is making its code reach more devices. This will all mean that application development will become much simpler and more widespread. With more widespread code would yield more people interested in coding for the gnome graphical user interface and thus make it a better user interface as a whole.
I hope kde will follow suit. Then I'd expect development to get really competitive, meaning a better graphical experience no matter which side of the GUI zealotry fence you are on. - dchomper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1GNOME? Embedded? These two words in the same sentence? Impossible!
One look at how much slower a GNOME enabled Linux GUI is compared to a sleeker one such as XFCE or Icewm is enough to put the thought to rest, unless GNOME is going to completely rewrite all their code and do something like J2ME. - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Great idea, overreach instead of solidifying your core competencies and let your kompetitors win.
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5I am more curious about the fact that so many people Digg this despite the fact that it's last week's news and, as you say, a megadupe.
- cderry, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I hate gnomes. I play horde.
- MrSpontaneous, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Yay! For far too long my embedded devices have looked sleek and polished. Now they can look ugly and blocky!
Thanks GNOME... without the GTK, none of this would be possible!
