Considering the primitive state of the iOS it's probably much easier to offer upgrades.

But there's no excuse for dropping N900 like a rock. MeeGO is Maemo 6 and nokia should provide the update same as 3GS got the latest OS and all androids are updated from version 1 to 2.

No excuse.

What hurts more is the features and the UI of maemo 5 (which nokia will wrongly redesign) that surpass both iOS and android by a long shot.
Simply the taping outside the focused area to go back and the multitasking dashboard put between desktop and main menu are brilliant!
I don't think anyone will ever achieve such integrated and easy to use multitasking...

Also... and I can't emphasize this enough.. LESS THAN ONE YEAR.

I mean, I had already seen this before with the N810WE coming out not long before the N900 and BAM... it got dropped not long after release. Seems to keep happening over and over with Nokia, is all.

It's easy to criticize though without having used one

I only hope MeeGo will bring major version updates and won't stay too far from the principles in Maemo5.

Yea it's a shame < 1 year and it hurts even more for people who bought it just 3 months ago.. like me.

I think I am going to walk right into the Nokia HQ here and make a mockery of them.

Agreed, because N900 is just released in many countries only for a few months....

I bought N900 01/05/2010 in HK (first day release in HK).... so disappointed with it, If Nokia provide 30 days money back (likes iPhone 4), then I get my money without any consideration..

I've found a very interesting project today: JITB.

As the thread title says, it is a Java based flash player. According to the blog post, it currently renders a subset of ActionScript at almost native Java speed.

Basically, the goal of this project allows all java-supporting devices (phones, desktops, etc) to run flash files. They even explicitly mention Android as a target for this project.

Please note this project is far from finished; the whole flash API has yet to be implemented, so don't get all overexcited yes

Hopefully this will make our already superb Maemo devices even better

I just noticed that google streetview can still be accessed on the N900 - through twaelti's maemaps web app!

Just put the red dot on the desired located and press "V". Then scroll down!

EDIT: Wow, even works with locally stored maemaps.html and corresponding scripts!
