 * Hildon-mime-open API

Further Information
Unfortunately the documentation for mime type handling in Maemo 5 is not ready yet. But as there are no major changes since Diablo, it is a good starting point to look through the Diablo documentation about it. Further there is a thread on talk, which discusses the mime-type handling.

Step-by-step guide
This has not been done yet, but feel free to help out with adding some useful information here.
