Re: Nokia MeeGo UX leaked?
 
Slightly OT, but Peter from Nokia Marketing tweeted earlier today that Nokia are looking to hire a MeeGo Marketing Manager for European Operators... ramping up the marketing to operators ahead of a new MeeGo device launch, perchance?

Also hiring MeeGo Release Marketing Manager and Open Source Advocate Europe.

Looks like Peter has returned from vacation! :)

3d HW Accelerated GFX is moot point b/c even symbian 3 as 3D HWA interface its how the Ui runs at 60 frames a second.

Symbian is HW accelerated, too, yes, but it's not in 3D
Don't know how to descibe it better.

as I said, both are very similar, but this is not MeeGo.
Both are even able to run the same widgets.

I can't and no, it isn't.

The Harmattan UI was going to use the MeeGo Handset UX, so watching the video I think this is what they are doing with it.

Meego touch framework is actually Harmattan UI Framework it just got renamed and donated i think to MeeGo project.
both Harmattan/maemo 6 and MeeGo 1.1 will both use same framework.

these are images i took from meego widget gallery i have installed on n900, if you look at images on the nokiablog you can see they look exactly the same look at dialogue boxes and input box.

This was the main reason i thought it was MeeGo too, but it should't really be surprise that we see similarities to widget gallery, direct ui or to that harmattan picture that was leaked about year ago.
Like already said Symbian^4 will and should have some same design elements than Nokias MeeGo or is this video just year old proposal shown to audience?
N9 announcement would clear alot. ;) Hopefully we see it in a month.

I had the same installed, but still, the video does not show the final or any meego UI.
Similarity does not mean that it is the same...

Didn't qgil recently move to California, so it could be his old job.

Errr... Are you forgetting the fact that Apple waited right up until the iphone 4 was ready to ship to announce it? Pretty easy to meet the release date when all that's left to do is flip a switch..

Maybe they require you to be so hard core you'll only agree to work with IRC and usenet. Events are obviously right out the door, since you can't leave their basement.

And you would know because? Do you work for Nokia on Meego? Not saying you don't, just curious how you do.

Confidential sources have now informed me it's actually GNU/Hurd running a modernized twm. Nokia are pissed Linus went with Android and decided to start from scratch. Intel will be informed tomorrow, and the applications are all raw Xlib.

Good question - possibly peer, or even sub-ordinate as Quim has relocated to California.

Nokia say they don't negotiate with terrorists and will under no circumstances make Emacs the default editor.

It is in a very problematic position right now. It's flagship device, N900, is not a mass market device and is not being readily sold anymore. It's claimed flagship deviced, N97, is like the most poorly rated smartphone.

Meanwhile there are loads of amazing android phones coming out as well as iphone 4 just released. It needed to get N8 out as soon as possible not postpone its release till September. Most people upgrading now will skip the current Nokia phones and will be unwilling to wait till September for the N8. They will just go to Android or iphone. So Nokia is losing potential customers each day it delays. They also needed to release videos or something of N9 as soon as possible for those who have no interest in symbian and may be considering getting an android or iphone. But that cannot happen now because they have to wait for N8 to come out before revealing anything of N9.

Of course better to delay to make sure everything is working whoell before release but when did Nokia do that? They will delay and probably still release a buggy device.

how many times can this be rehashed? I feel as though im reading gizmodo or engadget.

That's what they say, but the real reason is that Nokia is about to launch the awesome OVImacs. It vastly improves on the traditional editor experience by integrating Twitter and Facebook. It also Comes With Music, order now and you get the Rihanna Special.

I haven't seen it said anywhere. Giving my opinion. And where you feel you are is your problem.

If I had to offer up a guess... until it changes perhaps?

I'll bet it'll contain (or entirely be) closed-source.

Re: Nokia MeeGo UX leaked?
 
in my opinion, it really won't matter which OS it is. Nokia will likely NOT use the reference UI, and customize its own solution based loosely on that reference UI using the Qt UI toolkit used for both OSes.

I thought that was the entire point of buying Qt: To unify the app ecosystems and UIs of both their software platforms to remove fragmentation. You can also have UX fragmentation, but using a similarly styled UI paradigm for both OSes solves the issue.

So if this is more than just a marketing mockup (and I doubt it is...), it will likely be the basic look of BOTH OSes. The big difference will be the extended app ecosystem from MeeGo with GTK and the like.

In essence, we're all right in the end. Its NOKIA's UI. That will be how they brand/differentiate their devices, and how they unify their experience, regardless of cost or hardware.

Between the two, I rather like Moblin over Nokia's take on MeeGo.
