No idea, but I doubt it will work well, given the iPhone camera (which, to be honest, is poor, tho miles better than that on the n800.) > It would seem that Amazon would have no problem with an open source > version of this App if, in fact, it is not already opensource. Is the API it uses open source? Did the N8x0 platform get Java and the Android API (Android version) or Objective-C and Cocoa touch API (iPhone version)? Have they released the source to the versions on any supported platform? To you, a layman, I'm sure it does seem simple, but the reality is a lot different. Releasing the source will help little. Where is Amazon's incentive? Maemo is too small a platform. More likely to get a version for the S60 on the N series phones. But dom't listen to me. Build a business case and present it to Amazon. They might do it. I doubt you'll get much luck though.
