I know youre not .

I agree, the N8 was a "wow really, they put THAT in there?", much like i felt with the N900 and the IR port :P .

But rarely used.

I concede, the N9 might not be called a successor to the N8.

But thats a good thing . I had the N8. Summary: good camera. rest: ew.

I was thinking about purchasing this and making an app that reads the data:

What's sports tracker like? I like the idea of Meego having the ability to use the heart rate monitor.

Sports Tracker is pretty sweet. Havent used a heart rate monitor though.

The N8 is the successor of the N82.. Just sayin'..

And N8 with Belle is actually pretty good.

Saw this today on meegoexperts. I'm not sure what happened to Alien Dalvik, but this looks like a suitable replacement. I hope it becomes real!

Will get improved more than the N8's camera software will.
It's clear the motion compensation algorithm used has issues, among other things.
Hopefully it'll get better with PR1.1/1.2...
In-the-end there's only so much you can do with sw to compensate for underlying hw.
But I reckon it'll get closer to the N8's, as time goes on.

N8's hw is slightly better, but actual support isn't better OOTB IIRC?
And it's hw is unlikely to ever be fully exploited...
Whereas squeezing every drop outta the N9's anaemic hw will happen.
OC'ing DSP/CPU to attain H.264 base & main profile as one e.g.

This is coming...
joergw finally received his N9 a few days ago.
About freaking time that they got it to him!
Well at least they got it to him, so I guess I shouldn't be whining.

802.11an + DLNA server (Rygel/Twonky etc) + 802.11an/DLNA client = wireless 1080p vid-out win!

How about FM transmitter? Is it cumming? Heard a rumour about using the headphone cables as antenna, wonder if it is true.

TX was speculated as possible, but javis wasn't 100% certain, as he doesn't have a N9.
Read through this thread from at least here...

TX is not even on the radar for now, we've had an update from the Nokia dev just today.

He's tasked with doing a more robust FMRX/RDS than the hack that javispedro had to do.

This seems like such a complimentary project for MeeGo/Tizen & WebOS
I really hope some collaboration falls into place….

I hope its available for "order" (not pre-order) in many other places soon!

Why is the Lumia 800 readily embraced here, & yet the N9 is not?
