Nemo Mobile

Nemo Mobile is a Linux distribution for mobile devices. Nemo uses Mer as core and the UX is based on MeeGo Handset UX. The Nemo Mobile project continues the work started in the MeeGo Community Edition to create open community driven OS and apps. Currently initial Nemo port exists for Nokia N900 and N950 devices. Work is on-going to support Nokia N9. There is also some support for x86 based tablets/netbooks like ExoPC.
