[Roman Shchekin <mrqtros@xxxxxxxxx>]

BTW, N9 (with OS called "MeeGo" but in real it was tuned MaeMo) has true
multitasking, swype keyboard, services support, no AppArmor (and related
pain), little start-up time of applications and etc. It wasn't PR-ed well,
that's only reason of failure. Can we use some ideas from N9?
