Re: how tired are you of hearig about android?

If you use NITDroid you will realize you don't hate android as much coz you are somewhere in between maemo and fullscale android.

Re: how tired are you of hearig about android?

I'm not tired of hearing about competition that invariably will make Nokia/Intel MeeGo better.

Re: how tired are you of hearig about android?

i agree.
and perhaps if things with intel dont work out thats what they'll do...

Is android really all that? I do look forward to meego getting a shot. at least its accessible linux not completely locked down correct?

Yes, I completely agree!

I'm very tired of reading Android blah-blah everywhere. Android is bloatware, it doesn't even have a proper logo, and it has an awful UI. And most of the Android phones are very ugly.

I'm also tired of seeing every second guy in this forum opening a thread "hey, I've bought [random android device], and it is sooo goood". These threads should be simply deleted or merged together. This is a Maemo forum and not an Android forum after all.

Android 2.2 runs great and no longer slowed by java layer, not to mention full Flash that plays movies and TV shows through Flash, perfectly. Heck, Flash Lite on 2.1 blew my N900 away, but Flash 10.1 and Froyo is far better than I thought it could be. Even emulators including PSX perform better with Froyo.

I will continue using my N900 as my main music and MAME player, since still king for those functions, but that is it. For a phone sized device, nothing yet is better than the N900 for those functions.

Face it; some of you people are upset about the absolutely wrong things. So territorial over people talking about an OS that can be installed on existing N900 hardware and has allowed others to see: on that very same hardware Flash 10.1 is viable, shows an alternative market place actually works.

What you should be tired of hearing is the vacuum that's coming from Nokia in regards to PR1.3, future fixes and updates and lack of information about much anything Maemo based.

Wonderful OS, Nokia's too damn silent about. So people are tinkering with Android, it's the competition. To not to want to hear about the competition... I just find that amazingly odd.

Oh well. Avoid those threads. They're real easy to spot.

Meego should go into Meego / Harmattan. =P

I'm surprised - given the above responses - that MeeGo doesn't go into Competitors too...

So yes the bottom line is the bottom line we get that, but you have to do things to make your customers loyal and happy to keep leadership positions. By that logic, they should scrap Meego 6 months after its release and try to get everyone to switch to a new os...

isn't that exactly what they r doing with maemo 5?
