Are you suggesting I submit articles?

Question is, what would you like me to submit? I'm not a developer nor much more than an ex-advocate (at this point) and a damned grump where it comes to Nokia. I'd probably get along GREAT with John Dvorak.

Heh.. would you like me to post how I got my N800 working with my Motorola Droid as an Internet modem? :P That's constructive, I guess.

Would you like me to write up an amazing review about how one guy figured out how to take the compass sensor on my Droid and turn it into a decent metal detector... or better still, how someone figured out how to turn the camera on my Droid into a surprisingly accurate heart rate monitor? I can do that. No right... MAEMO weekly...

Maybe talk about how that sort of incredibly weird but inventive stuff like that ISN'T showing up on Nokia's devices out of a lack of diverse developers and market share? I'm sure I'd get a LOOOOT of comments and discussion. heh

So really.. what about the N800? Or even whether there's any proper upgrade path from there? That might be a good discussion article--but then, isn't that the whole point of the forums? Hasn't that already been hashed?

So if meego for N900 will be released accurately in October,that's the point (personally).

If there's news and we're not covering it, the whole point is to crowdsource the finding of the articles; but if there's no news to cover, that's for a different thread in a different sub-forum.

You're making my point for me. What do you want OTHERS to write about? If there's no news, there's no news. We can always rehash what's been said ad infinitum, but I can find better things to do.

I'm not trying to just be difficult here. Think of this as a challenge: what N8x0 content do you expect? and from whom?

As an N810 user whose sons still use their N800s, I'm interested, too.
