Keeping up with the rumours...

http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/33284/Nokia-developing-ad-funded-phones

This short article speculates that Maemo may eventually replace S60 on
products beyond the internet tablet line and says that Freemantle includes an
ad delivery homepage widget.

I think the "Symbian -> mid-range, Linux (Maemo) -> high-end" plan has
been known about for a while. One source:

This is an exciting development. The more competition there is in this
space (embedded unix with a friendly UI), the more that end users will
benefit.
