maemo.org - Talk - The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

So this is the biggest Nokia event this year and they are showing some "dying" Symbian Anna devices and maybe one Harmattan developer device which is not going to be sold anywhere. Sounds really good...

the biggest nokia event this year is nokia world.

I don't believe we will hear about Harmattan or MeeGo from Nokia after these announcements as long as N9 isn't huge success.

New and fresh Nokia Connection rumor is that we will "only" see RM-680 and newer Symbian anna devices announced. In other words no consumer device?

yes i know that things has changed i just wanted to keep hopes up for better future.

if they are going to announce only to dev device then ill simply dont know what to think about Nokia :|

Like i said just a rumor so don't jump on anything yet. More like something to keep this thread on the topic. :D

Really hope we would see consumer device next week but i could see them showing the UI on the event and announcing dev device while the consumer device would be released in September, announcing it next month.

Has anyone already mentioned this? Nokia's Meego twitter account has tweeted for the first time since December:

there is no chance the new Maemo "device sells good."

The shitty market department at Nookia are now payed by Microsoft.

Well, if they announce a dev device, at least they should say how one can acquire it. Otherwise it's just dumb.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

What could be safely labeled as 'disruptive' without being the butt of every bloggers' joke by the end of the announcement?

- extraordinarily low cost (device cost? licensing cost? apps cost?)
- availability? (boom, the device, devkit and app store will be available from afghanistan to zimbabwe on every operators the very next morning)
- some special form factor? (mobile + tablet + desktop in one?)
- extreme compatibility? (android, symbian and wp7 vm preinstalled?)

It can't be just a meego handset on some souped up spec.
That's not disruptive enough to not be a joke.

UX/OS must be really that good then.
