Latest and greatest should totally be there. Perhaps we should only use 
the n810 there. Saying only the N-series would save us from fixing this 
every year when a new model comes out, but N-series is for their phones 
as well, right?

I used the ones that we use in Clearlooks. We have the " - "-character 
there.
Perhaps we could use a grayed out check or something.

Linux is a really strong brand and probably what ISV's are looking for.
I think it would be a bit tricky if we start addressing all the UNIXes.
gnome.org says "GNOME offers an easy to understand desktop for your 
GNU/Linux or UNIX computer."
"Linux and UNIX" could work. A voice in the back of my head (that sounds 
a bit like RMS voice :) ) say it should say GNU/Linux.

Sorry, missed that when I went over it for broken links earlier today.
http://imendio.com/tutorial1.2/ is the wrong link. Any idea where I can 
find this documentation?

What address is that?

Thanks for all the feedback!
