What is Mer:

Mer is a new operating system for small, mobile touch-screen devices.

It is Linux based and layers the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform over a modern Ubuntu base.

The goals of Mer include:

    * Integrate the best solutions for a wide variety of small
      form-factor devices
    * Encourage wider access to device capabilities through the Vendor Social Contract
    * Demonstrably provide an easy route to market for vendors
    * Dramatically reduce costs to vendors of supporting EOL hardware
    * Focus, harness and support community contributions to the platform
    * Encourage and ease migration of existing applications
    * Support experimentation, innovation and development

Mer runs on: 770, N800, N810, FreeRunner, SmartQ5, SmartQ7, Beagleboard, and to some degree on Zaurus, Loox.
