Re: Nitdroid today, nice android apps and your n900

I never realy got into medical apps that much; I remember when palm pilot became popular for healthcare folks very suddenly. The hospital where I practice has institutional licenses for quite a few...

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Info Thread

Apple's app store is an unregistered trademark (http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html). Furthermore, many assert that it's a fairly generic term that predates the iPhone. I don't...

Re: [Make Sticky] I will Pay £50 to someone who can copy Alien Dalvik to work on N900

I don't see how selling directly to a few dozen n900 owners would impact their current business model. I doubt Microsoft and especially Apple will allow this on their devices; they'd be...

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

Nokia was building on top of the Linux kernel, GNU libs, and QT. All of the heavy lifting was done for them. They only needed to release a solid basic OS. I think that this is exactly what it...

Re: Microsoft is the plague: Nokia stock drops 14% as 1,000 employees walk out

In return, over the long term, this may cost Nokia heavily. It's been confirmed that they'll be paying a license fee on each device they produce--it might not be the $15-$20 that other manufacturers...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

It's open source under the GPL3, so if truly threatened, it could be forked by the QT community, like Openoffice. The problem is that QT would lose it's corporate sponsorship, so development won't...

Images of guitar riffs and Tawny Kitaen having her way with Coverdale's Jaguar enter my mind. Thank you.

Re: Is there anything we can do??

Last fiscal year, Nokia spent almost $4B on research. It's almost incomprehensible that they couldn't get an OS built on linux and QT out the door with that kind of funding. If Nokia believed it...

Re: elop's first responsibilty is to his shareholders, not us

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Windows Mobile never gained much marketshare overall, and what it had was mainly concentrated in North America. Why would Nokia bet it's future on a long-shot...

Re: MeeGo be fast on N900 in future?

The UI looks pretty good here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWtMLs3j09U but applications seem to load slowly, perhaps due to the SD card? I haven't messed around with Meego images yet, so I don't...

Re: N900 Scrolling

The toolkit seems to matter--all of the Qt apps I've used have fluid drawing and scrolling.

Re: can't control mouse on n900 (VNC Viewer)

You can try PresenceVNC in devel. It has the right and left mouse buttons mapped to the volume rocker. It's more feature complete than vncviewer.

Re: Steve Jobs on open vs closed

It should have reduced clock efficiency with the added pipeline stages. The observed performance seems to support this.

Re: How can the n900 succesor defeat its rivals??

Re: meego tablet looks like it will kill i pad!!!!!!!!

It's a prototype but he said in the clip (~5:20) that battery life is around 6hrs. That's not very promising.

Re: N900 five month sales less than 100,000, really?

In the first 5 weeks, the sales were hampered by availability, not by lack of interest in the device.
