Punjabi Keyboard (virtual) layout is ready for Use with Nokia N900.
Please suggest if you have any comments about it.
Add Punjabi Layout to N900:

Download attached file n900keyboardlayout.zip [1], unzip it
and scp "pa-jhelum.vkb" file to N900 in following directory:
/usr/share/ukeyboard
Enable Punjabi Layout:
Goto
Settings-> Text input -> 1st language --Change this to ਜੇਹਲਮ (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ)
Now you can start type Punjabi. Meanwhile I am trying to add
this layout to ukeyboard so that Punjabi support available
by default.
Note: you need to install fonts for Punjabi, please read

N900 with Punjabi support....
I got N900 for Testing Punjabi on it.
While need to install fonts, I was not
clear about rendering after installing
fonts. it is based on Maemo Linux, so
you can install/use application easily
After install openssl-client/server,
scp lohit-punjabi fonts from fedora
machine to N900 and 'fc-cache',
run 'fennec'.

While after reboot, I can see the
Punjabi in mail and other places
(no interface translation available yet).
Most Important thing was Rendering,
which is just working and good enough
to use. fonts was installed on N810, but
there is Punjabi Rendering was broken

More Screenshot you can check here
from i18n Point of view, following task with status:
---
-Fonts- Working - Need to package
-Rendering - Working - Nothing to Done
-Input - Need to Work - Need to Package
---
Now Android:
No Indian Language is supported as such, but
Same as Apple iPhone.
Now it seems Nokia should work fast, but less
hard to provide Indian language as Rendering is
working and just installing fonts can
help to enable support.

Now Android:
No Indian Language is supported as such, but
got a chance to check Samsung Galaxy Spica
It has Hindi Interface, but Rendering broken.Same as Apple iPhone.
Now it seems Nokia should work fast, but less
hard to provide Indian language as Rendering is
working and just installing fonts can
help to enable support.
