Open source and merchantile companies

In the midst of the quarrel between the developers of Konqueror and Safari, Nokia shows us their 770 internet tablet due to be shipped the 3rd quarter this year.

Nokia obviously appreciate open source, but on the other side they are lobbying for software patents in Europe.

UPDATE: Opera is the browser in 770.

Nokia is developing a GTK+ port of Webcore but to my knowledge they have not included that port in any of their devices yet.
