RE: OST & OSD?

[Rod.Walsh@nokia.com]

OST = Open Standards Terminal.

It is a "reference" for the development of terminals based on open standards
:)

Nokia MediaTerminal and Ralph's code are implementations of this reference.

Using open source in an open standards terminal is a great way of making the
implementation very transparent and allowing everyone to see that
implementations adhere to the standards. There's loads of information about
Nokia's interest in this in the Nokia press releases so you can hunt that
down if you are keen.

Your could do worse than ...
Embedded Linux Journal, "Nokia Media Terminal" by Phil Hughes

http://www.nokia.com/multimedia/mediaterminal.html
http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/In101299.htm
... for starters

Happy surfing,
Rod.
