[OSM-dev] Mosmed, mobile OSM editor (for Maemo)

[Mickey Leroy]

Yes, the mobile world needs such applications,
that is why I created a program called Open Citymap (
http://code.google.com/p/opencitymap/)
Which firstly was created on the trolltech Greenphone, but now it is being
re-made (cleaning code + improving) for other devices.
Those other devices are curently: The OpenMoko freerunner (at the moment
under Qtopia) and the Nokia N810 (qt/x11).
