But if Nokia is pitching the N97 as their always-connected pocket computer, how the heck are they intending to pitch a future N900?


always-connected pocket server!

Afterall, we know linux runs most of the servers worldwide

about the N97:

i love watching and watching and watching the videos about it.

the only thing i'm missing so far: how do you make a phone call? they never show. do you have to launch an application from the applications>>communications submenu for that?

waking up at 3:15am was a waste of time for me. I pissed off my wife for nothing!

Exactly what I was asking myself this morning. To me, it seems that they have ditched the idea of any more maemo based IT. I don't think the recent and past series has done as well as the would have liked it.

Yes, effectively. There won't be another "Internet Tablet" running Maemo. But it's known.

Nokia did tell us that the Maemo 5 device won't be called an "Internet Tablet". Maybe it's not even going to be an internet tablet?

Nokia must be planning something big for Maemo 5. They're spending a huge amount of money on Maemo, and are buying a community to surround it (which they could have for free if they were a bit more open).

Maemo 5 doesn't seem related to the recently-announced Nokia Home Automation device, because that has been announced to be running OpenWRT Linux on a router.

Remember the three Maemo guys who quite Nokia suddenly and very publicly on the same day early this year? Their new company had a very secretive website, but didn't it say something about a "house computer"? Maybe they're working on some Maemo device that Nokia knows about "at arms length"?

Just thinking aloud here.

Roger.

makes me wonder if Nokia's plan is to one day merge the N tablets and the N phones together and use Maemo as the OS once they use us to get it running good. Which wouldn't be a bad thing to me.

Still thinking aloud.

Symbian has been progressively becoming more friendly to Linux developers. They added C-language APIs where previously C++ was needed. They implemented libc for Symbian. They implemented QT for Symbian.

Might Symbian even become a subsystem of Maemo in the future? That would give Nokia a smooth transition path from phone to computer.
