Re: Rumored Samsung Linux Device "Better" than N900, Says Eldar
 

nokia and adobe have a $10 million dollar fund for flash developers, so I'd say its more a joint venture and in the interest of both parties to get full up to date support as soon as possible on as many devices they can.

btw if your a flash developer why not try get funding for your project from the fund it cant hurt to try if you are serious.

flash 10 is not yet here in fremantle but is coming so its not yet fixed in fremantle but on the roadmap

Re: Rumored Samsung Linux Device "Better" than N900, Says Eldar
 

I always look at it as [will be] fixed in Fremantle [sooner or later], which brings more hope than WONTFIX'ed in Diablo (which is just a terrible slogan imo).

I don't want to add another off-topic post, so I'll just paste this here.

But I do know that many content sites check for H.264 support, which arrived on the desktop in Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 in December of last year. Some sites today specifically use Player 10 features, and some always check for the current versions as a security nudge... it's hard to generalize about sites' various detection schemes. But, as before, we're in the final months of an architecture change... Player 10 is moving beyond laptops to mobile and home systems. First results should be at the end of the year, with production ramping up next year. This generation features over-the-air updating, as well as intrinsic cross-device support, so things should be simpler than they are today. Best word on what the N900 can do would come from Nokia themselves, but I know that general progress is being made in this area, if that's of help. jd/adobe

I wonder where he is... he seems to pop up everytime I mention Flash.

Come on Chris-- comparing a current model with one from 2 years in the future???

Not worried.

Re: Rumored Samsung Linux Device "Better" than N900, Says Eldar
 

Whoa, I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion Eldar came across as a complete jackass in this issue. There is one thing to get exclusive access on things, but in this case is clear the access has not been authorized.

He says "but in any case, officially Nokia isnt provide anything connected with Maemo to us, so I feel free to find out all things,unveil"

So, because Nokia is keeping the N900 heavily under-wraps until it is done and fully ready for mass use, it gives him the right to get an N900 in a suspicious way, complain that Nokia tries to track the device, and on top of that b*tch about it? About a prototype? And says that a 2011 device will be better?

What the hell?

If this were Apple and the iTablet, he would have been sued to death already.

It is hard to understand for me the way Eldar has been handling this. Nokia has been clearly holding Maemo very close to the chest, and been preparing its release in a very careful and controlled way.

So here comes a guy that messes with all that, without regard for any damage he may cause to the company (and yes, leaks cause damage), and when Nokia gets rightly angry about this, he has the nerve to complain about the device? Can he really not understand the damage he might have done?

This is becoming a classic case of ego (or blog/web hits) over substance.

I don't know about Eldar and Nokia's relationship behind the scene, but why flame him for exercising his freedom of speech?

Yes, he'd be a jackass if he has broken promises made to Nokia, but if there's no agreements whatsoever between them (as implied in his tweets) then he's just being a journalist. Uncovering or 'unveiling' (in his own words) anything newsworthy.

Re: Rumored Samsung Linux Device "Better" than N900, Says Eldar
 

Sorry if my previous post was a bit harsh, but I did it on impulse. I am exercising my right to flame him then :p

I agree that is doing journalism. However, what I think is that he is doing bad journalism.
