Terhi picks up up the device and notices that the battery is still almost full despite few days on stand-by mode. She enters gmail.com URL to browser to read her emails. The device pops up a note listing available WLANs and Terhi pics up the Hotel hot spot and enters the encryption key the receptionist kindly gave her...

... After login in she gots an email with a link to a “supposed-to-be-funny” video clip on YouTube (tm). She clicks the link and the another browser window pops up connecting to youtube.com and playing the video clip. She smiles a little and suspend the device and sticks it into the pocket of her jeans.

• The Gnome Mobile stack – Glib – GTK+ – Gstreamer – X – HAL – Cairo • Firefox Brower Engine – Gecko browser engine – EAL

• There was no mobile connectivity manager available – We ”embedded” Gnome Network Manager for mobile all-ways-on connectivity

• Device state management – HAL was there, but required integration effort to run on top of Mobile processors – OHM is avery active project we adopted

• Gstreamer plugins – Multimedia is very hardware specific

• Some performance issues with Firefox – Suprice, suprice.. • Lack of definitions for a good browser experience – Our Usability team is working on this currently..
