Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia

I'm done. I bought a Google Nexus S at Best Buy. Popped the SIM out of the N900 and into the Nexus and now I am on the Android train. I have been assimilated.

I will miss lots of stuff about my...

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia

I don't see any other linux phones on the horizon. I was hoping Nokia was going to put out a meego one. I love my N900, and I am very happy with the community ssu, but I think it is a dead end now....

Re: N9 scrapped according to Eldar and others.

I feel like this thread is three different discussions:

1. What should Nokia do to sell more/stay on top/get back on top/stay alive?

2. What will Elop do, regardless of whether it fits with my...

Re: Rumor: Nokia drops first MeeGo phone before launch

Yawn. Old rumors. Other rumors that Nokia has dropped their first N9 prototype and has a new prototype are essentially the same as this blurb.

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

I'm going to call B.S. on the letter. Not to say it wasn't interesting (though the oil platform story was just horrible writing) but it just isn't plausible. It is probably not a "hoax," but...

Re: Android vs Maemo - social network integration

That integration is DBus and Telepathy at work. Telepathy provides a uniform system for creating communication "tubes" and the IM clients are built on top of that. DBus allows programs to send...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

I am having the same problem. It is new since the CSSU. I was about to go file a bug in bugzilla on it, but was checking the thread to see if anyone else commented on it.

Re: Alien Dalvik, run android apps on non android phones (Like N900)

It doesn't look like this is an end-user android layer, but a way for developers to repackage apps written for android to run on Maemo and Meego (and, if it uses Qt correctly, on symbian). I...

Re: MeeGo is "the Biggest Joke In the Tech Industry Right Now"

What a freaking dufus. I don't know what problem Nokia has that he thinks using WP7 or Android will solve. Nobody disputes that Nokia has plenty of work to do to win back market share in the USA. ...

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

This is the problem with all of us N900 owners. Other phones don't even have a command line with root access. We do, and we complain that it doesn't have a transparent background! :D

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

I will give T-Mobile some props here for their pricing model. The no-contract/no-phone monthly price is cheaper than the contract/subsidized-phone price. I think it was around $10 per month...

So Nokia sold over 28 million smartphones last quarter (http://www.allaboutmeego.com/news/item/12525_Nokia_Q4_2010_results-profits_.php), including over 5 million Symbian^3 devices, its 7th...

Re: Meego vs Android apps (C or Java?)

Quite the contrary. Live homescreen widgets are already available on Maemo and Symbian, and will doubtless be available on meego platforms. On the N900 I have one glance at live widgets for music...
