'K, got it.

So, WHY don't we have Gears for Maemo again? All the previous discussions I'm read centered around a binary version someone (I think from Google) posted on a Google forum & what worked & what didn't.

Google Gears is being discontinued, being something of a "proof of concept" (or so they say).

Gears is replaceable with HTML5 (thus why it's being discontinued) and since the N900 browser supports HTML5 local storage I don't see what the point is at all.

For the expense, it seems a waste.



Hmmm, are you sure? From what I remember (and I'll admit to being confused often) it will use " nonvolatile flash memory" in addition to cloud storage. If the 32GB in the n900 is not nonvolatile flash, then I don't know what it is. Source for that was the Wired article on Chrome OS.

Thanks -- that's exciting news (news to me at least)!

I'll tell you why, because we (perhaps-possibly-maybe) can, that's why!
Being able to tell someone "Yeah, I've got chromeOS on my n900"
"Neat! Can I see it?"
"Nah, it le sucks.." is power my friend. Nerd power.
Sorry for the interruption, just had to make it clear.
