Does Wayland allow video capturing yet?  Last time I checked, only
a few bad programs were supported.

OTOH, Wayland isn't a 1-off like Maemo was.  Read a few weeks ago
that Maemo was getting a niche in the Gnome libs, to allow most of
the gnome stuff to be used, but automatically resize down to
Maemo-size where it makes sense. http://maemo.org/intro/

I have fond memories of my PalmPro, BBerry-950, and N800 devices.  A
friend had a Zaurus which was crazy expensive for the time.  If I
could get all the weenie programs from Palm, thumb-board from
Blackberry, Debian APT from the N800, and modern battery, wifi,
phone capabilities in a mostly F/LOSS device, under my control,
without google or other crapwear added for a "reasonable price",
I'd be very happy.

Take my money.

Heck, just playing back local-to-device audio without any tracking
would be nice out of the box (Google!).
