maemo.org - Talk - iPhone 4

This is just plain fcuking stupid

App Stores and ecosystems = good answer to demanding market = more developing jobs = economy running = everybody happy

Freedom and openness = no 1st/3rd party support = community left to do everything = flamewars on the interwebs = basement dwellers wildest fantasies = disappointment and brand deserting

iPhone can`t do nothing NEW. Its the old features with more cpu/gpu power and pretty good screen. How hard will it take you to understand that? Its a new piece of hardware ofc its is better than 98% of the market atm.

Edit:
Its pointless, most people like flashy thingies _that do nothing new_, never understand that tho, go ahead its better without these people anyway :D

wow! you are serious.

Or the N900/maemo5 combo is step 4 of 5.

think that makes it 4th gen too.

Re: iPhone 4

All I gotta say is Nokia saw this like we all saw this and if they can't build a meego phone to top the iphone 4 than well that's just on them. I would not make sense to build a kick *** phone when they can. So time will tell. Because if the meego specs are not mind blowing I will be keeping my n900 for awhile and thats odd for me seeing I usually get the latest and greatest phone that's out at the time with the brand im with.

Re: iPhone 4

Very interesting developments from Apple.

The increase in screen rez is nice, but not so radically superior to the N900 that it makes a big deal. You still can't do pressure-sensitive work like MyPaint on it. To me, the N900 screen still has the edge...I'd still prefer a minimum screen size of 4", however.

All the compass, gyroscope etc hardware is pure win for Apple. Why Nokia didn't include a compass is still a mystery to me. Talk about obvious requirements.

Mostly, I'm curious about the vidcall capabilities. They have actually beaten me to the punch, as I'm working on a nicer Qt interface that uses both cameras. However, I intend my vidcall client to be open-standard compliant, not "iPhone-to-iPhone"...which is lamer than a smoking monkey.

pretty much the first video calling phones could do that 7 years ago. in europe anyway.

Re: iPhone 4

I think the augmented reality stuff might come through with this phone.

And I wonder when capacitative-resistive touchscreens will become market ready.

yeah, Apple do seem to have an amazing knack that way.
