I'm personally these days testing the SGX drivers for inclusion, let's see if they work properly first.

In case of staffing, see my earlier reply.

We have the N900 as a reference device for MeeGo, hence images has to work and pass QA. That implies a high standard and a commitment to keep things working.

We have a very minimal set of binaries so it should be possible to maintain them.
:rolleyes: Nokia has a paid team working to deliver drivers/blobs to the n900.

Someone in-the-know who is being payed by Nokia comes in here and says what I quoted below, and the above is your response? So, either you started this thread and then decided to only read posts that were about you or to you. Or you're just a troll. Which is it?

Thanks for starting this thread, but if you're not going to read it, please stop posting.

Well if this actually IS happening i think it is fair to say that everyone on this community as an owner of an N900 need to be told from Nokia direct is some way to give reassurance but the fingers all point to minimal support now from Nokia.

Please in future give a full link to anything from Nokia so users can follow.

I realized I'd forgot to downvote this thread, but Stskeeps et al. have been posting good info (as usual). So, thanks.

SO now it seems meego.com is the place to check out, seems we on this community get to know little of what future the N900 has.... yet and not suprising THIS community has the most whiners !.

SO who is being helpful to Maemo.org?.

The answer is nobody. Alot of people are getting fed up with the way this community has been invaded and dragged down to the pits.

The problem is Nokia dont seem to want to give the N900 Meego and that IS a big problem for us considering some of the drivers are not open source.
Technically the N900 already runs Meego. It just doesn't do anything (see developer builds) And while the drivers aren't open source (I wish everything was open source) Nokia has provided a way for you to get to the closed propriertery bits and use them. On this end Nokia has been pretty clear that the N900 will be getting Meego.

What people are expecting is the same Meego that the next Nokia device will get (whatever the heck it is, I'm not interested in it since I'm tired of Nokia's support). Which will have Ovi integration. Which isn't going happen or is going be much harder. Nokia has pretty much taken a silent stance on that.

Wouldn't it make any itty bitty sense to wander over to meego.com on the odd occasion to see what is happening?

Isn't that rather a little more constructive and educational or do you prefer your indignant ignorance?

N900 is a great tool. I have a Blackberry and apart from quicker mail response (the N900 is quite slow) it really has a much deeper interface and useability.
Meego could help in creating a faster UI and much better mail integration and the new BB Torch has a 5mp camera, which this had a year ago.
Its still current and active, Nokia is slow and nowhere near as bad as Vodafone who have locked out upgrades etc.
I'm not a Nokia fan at all but the N900 has a lot going for it.

Point taken but this community is the main and should be the only real source for information on the N900.

I actually missed that page where Stskeeps came in on this thread with some valuable information so my ignorance there !.

Thats a good news. But will Nokia Provide any support for MeeGo?
