Re: How can we encourage iPhone developers to develop on Maemo?

Jeeze thanks Socrates... classic rhetoric. More like classic obfuscation.

You must be a real joy at parties.

And while I'm sure Nokia is proud you are still using the 1100... I'm also sure...

Re: How can we encourage iPhone developers to develop on Maemo?

Can you actually read what I wrote, or are you just being argumentative? I said "if Nokia's GOAL IS TO BECOME a small player.."

Of course, AIG, GM and Chrysler are decades old companies, too......

Re: How can we encourage iPhone developers to develop on Maemo?

About half ther apps I have on my phone I heard about in a newspaper/magazine article or on a blog somewhere. Word of mouth for good apps drives their popularity. And by good, I guess I mean - apps...

Re: How can we encourage iPhone developers to develop on Maemo?

If Nokia's goal is to become a small player in the cell market - a niche player if you will-, shrink it's profits and lay off half of it's workforce, then your analogy-cum-business strategy is sound.

Re: How can we encourage iPhone developers to develop on Maemo?

Point is, people who "poo poo" (pun intended?) Apple's app store by pretending all it is is fart apps are kind of missing the point. There are plenty of good apps in there; sure at first there was a...

Judging by this comment, I assume that you haven't seen an ebook on the iPhone. This whole pixel density thing is a false argument. The font rendering is really perfectly fine on the iPhone, it's...

Re: And the Kindle Plus is...

I have the exact opposite experience. Reading on my N800 is hampered mainly by the lack of transreflective screen which makes reading in anything but a dim room quite fatiguing. I have no problems...

I don't understand this. iTunes as well as the on-device app store easily allows you to browse apps by category.

Re: 3G data solution - wifi hotspot

The one I am referencing is palm sized and rechargable/battery powered. I also assume it won't need an additional 3G card or USB.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?

It is important to me... I like the tablets but wouldn't pay more than about $250, maybe $300 in a pinch. I have an Acer "netbook" that I paid $350 for, which is about my upper range for that form...
