Nokia have the N700 for sale, which is a linux and GTK based PDA-type
device. It's successor the N880 (I think) is also becoming available.
Nokia also employ quite a few GNOME hackers and sponsored GUADEC last
year. They have recently had a white paper on interacting with the open
source community and opening up development, though I appear not to have
bookmarked it..
