Here you have the list of 500 contributors accepted to the N810 maemo device program. We got around 900 applications full of great ideas and commitment. We are sending today a confirmation email to everybody, accepted (including the discount code) and non-accepted. We will send further emails to the winners notifying them the dates when the Nokia N810 will be available in the online shop corresponding to the country selected.

A comment to the non-accepted participants: your proposals are valid! Most of them don't need the latest hardware to be pushed forward. Keep learning and contributing to maemo - your chances will grow next time (if there is a next time, of course).

Thank you everybody!

IMO: well done to Nokia for doing this program at all, and well done for doing it so transparently; and also with much improved administration since the N800 one.

From my participation in the relevant forums and mailing lists, this looks to me to be a well chosen list, and I expect that the Internet Tablets' app-sphere will be rich and exciting as a result.

i would like to express my big disappointment about the selection of the "happy few 500 " . As always were choosen people that just own 770 or n800 or even both !! also people that surely have enough money to buy it by themselves .... i am sad to see that there are no space for young student that want to give contributions but they aren't admit to your closed caste ... P.S. if there is anybody that feel to not deserve the discount .....i am honored to receive it . Thank you maemo for NOT having accept me .

I can't wait to test my ports to the N810. Only a question, IT2008 will suport 3d accelleration?

Thanks Maemo.

I have already installed the development environment. Works nice with the new installer scripts. I shall sort some webspace out for my projects and link it asap.

Thanks again and congratulations to everyone else.

But you can put a public/private flag next to each own proposal, so that each "fortunate applicant" can choose to make it public.

I will make a draft of mine and put it in the wiki asap, but still...

Because we never told users about the possibility of publishing them and now we can't publish them just like that.

If there is another program we will ask for open and public submissions.

Thanks maemo team and Nokia thanks for having made my dream, as I promised I will bring with my ideas and my plans to improve and make known maemo to all users Italians and the world.
