Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better N810 or iPhone from Nokia
 

Hi,

i have the N770, N800, an old iPhone and a new Acer One A110L (8,9", 1GB RAM, 8 GB SSD) Netbook with Linpus Linux.

The new Google Android is coming in the next months and Apple always brings new patents to Touch Tablet

Now, I have the Nokia morphs future concept and OVI Portal seen

My questions:

• When brings Nokia (finally, before others do it) a more developed Touch Tablet Phone with Linux ????

• and can the competition Apple, Google and Microsoft overtaking

1.) Why your personal interest in the fact that such a device is made by Nokia? Or that Nokia introduces such a device before other do? Do you own Nokia shares?
2.) Why should it be based on a Linux Kernel?

Gadgets are cool, but as long as the platform is free and I like the device, I don't care much who sells it. (I'd even buy from the dark side of the iForce if they'd finally have a decent device that meets my needs.)

This device is not going to happen in the near future anywhere but in Photoshop: the display technology you are proposing does not exist.

Nokia is working on a touchscreen phone, but it'll be based on Symbian.

heh, that morph video reminds me of this:

and that was something that was dreamed up in the 90's.

Nokia Morph will come around MAYBE in 20-30+ years. Seriously. Its just sifi right now. And it will kick ***...

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better N810 or iPhone from Nokia
 

For the second part of your question, I don't believe that the mass population really cares that much whether it would be based on Linux or not. For the first part, S60 is coming out with their touch products soon. ;)

That post doesn't even mention Linux.

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better iPhone from Nokia
 

..but it concerns the 'open source desktop' which is usable on Linux. Also, Canonical only develops for Linux. Chances are it'll be useful for e.g. KDE4 @ Windows as well though.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (with touchscreen) has now been launched: http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1256590

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better iPhone from Nokia
 

Thanks for the link. If I click on "Specifications", then on "Full specs", it says "Bluetooth profiles A2DP and AVRCP". There's no mention of DUN. I hope that doesn't mean that the tablets can't tether to it.

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better iPhone from Nokia
 

The specs doesn't seemt to specify if the HSDPA is European frequencies only (or multi region support is included).

Also good that the bluetooth does A2DP (unlike a famous competitor).

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better iPhone from Nokia
 

Make that 2 famous competitors. Android/G1 doesn't have A2DP either, though it's expected to get it eventually. (As is the iPhone, of course...)

Re: Nokia Morph - we are all waiting for the better iPhone from Nokia
 

The 5800 will have 3 versions, 3G Euro, 3G NAM, and regular GSM. For some, it might be suitable tablet replacement, but IMO, the OS needs a twice over (firmware touchups) before it can make that jump - but its close.

The positioning of this and the first M5 device will be very interesting.
