Re: Gary Birkett (aka lcuk) RIP

Terribly sad news.

I remember meeting Gary first time in the first Maemo Summit in Berlin. Jussi Mäkinen was talking with him and asked me to come over. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out...

Re: First Nokia prototype with Microsoft OS (leaked picture)

Customize as in to make Nokia WP7 devices incompatible with other WP7 devices, or as in to make WP7 apps run only on one of them, but not both - well that would be of course foolish. Customize as in...

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

Yes, of course, you couldn't tell things like that beforehand to Nokia employees. It just wouldn't work.

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

No, it's certainly not irrelevant in the future. It is just as relevant as ever. It should actually create a more level playing ground where the best UX would win, not the one that has the largest...

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

2015 is my prediction of the year when it starts to become very significant - let's define significant to be that more than 50% of "the apps" would run with non-platform specific code. Of course...

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

As a Nokian working for Meego (for a long time now, as some might remember), I understand the ecosystem thingy painfully well. Qt is very cool, QML is very cool (hey, even I was able to build an app...

Re: Nokia can't Fix N900's Screen

It is generally cheaper just to hand out a new device than to have a skilled repairman to look at something, diagnose and think about if something can be fixed, if he has the right parts etc. and for...

Re: 2ghz phone by end of 2010

Re: Anssi Vanjoki says using Android is like peeing in your pants for warmth

They're not (well, except some of them do try to cram on their additional 'useful' pieces of software on top of the OEM builds). But that's the game that they're then playing: the profit margins are...

Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?

Hey, I'm a member too. ;)

I use multitasking to keep track of what I'm currently doing. Sometimes I open apps or browser windows to new windows even though I do not go to them right away. They're...

Re: Is the N900 ever going to be a polished product?

It's not exactly trivial to come up with a good solution for this.

The solution you were hinting to in your other posting doesn't really scale up to be a system-wide solution.

Basically, if...

FWIW iPhone does the same solution in its Mail: go into a separate selection mode, select emails, then press "Delete".

Re: [Council] Nokia response to MyNokia subscription in PR1.2

I guess most people are aware of this already, but MyNokia is something that is not only Meego-specific but rather appears also in Symbian devices. In multiple forms, but still. So you can probably...
