Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

Just to make some early conjecture here, I suspect that if the next device is, in fact, medfield then Intel will probably be begging Nokia to include it.

MeeGo won't, but Nokia's MeeGo-based devices will. Though it would totally be to Nokia's benefit if they make them available to all MeeGo devices.

@EDIT: yes, you are right...
(and i want to see the HYPER-MEGA-SUPER-PHONE from nokia, that can do everything, like the xphone at youtube ;) )

@3D: i know that they are researching these things, but they are also researching the coke battery... research is something for the future, i would like to know if they have something in the pipeline that could be shipped this year ;)

@your questions: good questions! I agree!

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

One question of all us N900 owners what can we expect from meego OS on our phones when they introduce meego 1.2? Will we get Nokia support including a browser using flash 10'1, ovi maps, a media player etc? Or will it just be a basic OS and it will be left to the community to develope apps for it?

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

It derpends if Elop says Meego is dished in favout o WP7 you can ask them why the hell they did that?

Else you may ask them if they can PROVE that they will release a Meego handset 2011...

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

If you see Elop. Please ask him "N9 is a 2011 event. Its 2011! Where is it?"

On a more serious note. Ask nokia why I(or any other user) should go for meego when I have a Android and maemo mobile "phone". What will meego bring to the table that will attract atention?

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

I wish I could go too! Have a great time at MWC, Cosimo! :)

I'd like to know more about their plans to claw back some of Android's marketshare in cellphones and TVs, where is the battle ground? And how they plan to bring in commercial developers who might traditionally be wary of developing for open source operating systems. It didnt really happen with N900, so what lessons learned and how they might proceed.

I also want to learn more about other devices. I know Intel has a lot of cool ideas going on, from vending machines to kiosks running MeeGo. MeeGo has a promise of a connected future in a connected world of devices, id love to hear about possible next wave of devices and services that Intel or Nokia can bring us.

Perhaps more contentious, I don't understand decisions such as to not build touch into the netbook UI or the decision to drop Web Runtime. I'm not sure if these are really things that can be raised or discussed with your guests, just throwing it out there as ideas.

I also want to know more about the Intel AppUp store, how it plans to expand and rival with iTunes or the Android market.

Finally I'd love to learn more about how Intel and Nokia are going to support developers - especially independent developers like many of us are here - through online resources, meet ups, etc etc. How they plan to foster a community like we have here, and support bloggers and groups such as mobilefridae.

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

When are we getting a Linux OVI Suite?

If you get to speak to a Nokia person tell them that they were stupid to make less devices in 2010. That's how they lost market share. They should have done like the Galaxy S line and released a bunch of different phones with the same internal hardware and minor external tweaks. Tell them I want to see at least 4 Nokia MeeGo phones and a tablet with an electrostatic tactile surface released at the same time.

Ask them why they didn't make the N900 the same size as the N800.

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

That only works in places like the US, where each carrier wants its own exclusive handset. If the US market weren't so totally screwed, I doubt Samsung would have had so many carrier-specific variations on the same hardware.

Completely not relevant.

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

Have them get word to Intel that the AppUp Store is a terrible name - from sounding like something stupid to sounding gross. People will be calling it the UpChuck store, the UckUck store, etc. It will not entice people to buy any product that has access to the AppUp store.

Ovi Store name was a horrible choice also. I don't know how these obviously ludicrous final names make it through market research, but it shows how unattractive the results can be from things that come out of committee.

Re: [MWC] Do you have questions?
 

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Please keep in mind that Nokia or Intel unlikely will give me a deep insight in their strategies for the future, at least without NDA. So I guess questions regarding unannounced devices will end up fruitless.

I think questions asking about why they've done something the way they did won't be answered either.

But there are already plenty of really good questions, thanks again for these - keep them coming!
