Maximum Linux has a story about Nokia’s Media Terminal. “This sexy bit of kit sits atop your telly, turning it into a
broadband internet appliance. The controller flips open to reveal a small keyboard, enabling you to
browse the Web, send emails or bookmark your favourite channels or pages … Driving the magic is Linux, XFree86 and Mozilla, plus some of Nokia’s own code that controls the
Navigation bar and MP3 player (visualisations).”
