I'd love a Morph device too. It sparked me to get an N800 honestly. Will be a while yet before that tech is finished though, lots of work to do I'm sure.
I first heard about that project back in 2007, and I also know there are numerous scientists working with nanotechnology since the last 90s. I would've though by now some kind of physical demo could've been shown

Sigh, if companies were so secretive and instead share their knowledge with others, we could advance a lot faster in human technology. And we wouldn't be here worrying about MeeGo, lol

They share a ton. Much of it is too far out for many consumer applications. Some of the apps in Nokia's BetaLabs for both Maemo and Symbian platforms come out of NRC research though.
The disruptive aspect of what a Nokia Maemo/MeeGo device could be, coming from that lineage, shouldn't be over or underestimated.
Until Nokia says otherwise, you should believe what they have already said. There is ONE MeeGo device coming to the market.
There have been SEVERAL developer devices involved in the MeeGo/Maemo lifeline, and all of these have been quite difficult to get for outsiders.
precisely!
the only thing we heard from NOKIA so far is that there would be ONE device.
no indication whatsoever about other specs, except in Rich Green's interview
(« it is beautiful and elegant and the hardware is interesting and the software is powerful »)
anyone heard anything more?
For the consumer device photo "game":
How about that handset in Real Steel trailer? Or does screenshot count as photo?
That phone looks like something in polycarbonate case with N8/E7 style caps at both ends. If imagined without that case device would be pretty slim.
Had a company as large as LG tried that, Nokia would have taken them to court to protect the Maemo trademark.
Okay, let me pull away some exaggeration and just quote some faulty web reference from January 2010. I just remember that I've been reading the tag "Maemo" on the GW990 several times. There was a bit of "will come with this OS, will not come with that OS after all", etc.
you MUST be kidding, right?
anyone in the know about MeeGo HAS TO be in SF, no?
how can you trust someone who is sitting behind his desk thousands of kliks from there right now?!?
nearly nobody from Nokia besides Quim Gil, Mikko Terho and a bunch of Qt devs are here at the conference. The conference is about MeeGo, not Harmattan.
I trust him/her because information in the past was correct. Some of these infos were late, though, like cancelled distribution of Harmattan devices just was said to me one day before conference.
zehjotkah! I always forget to ask this question, but is ANYBODY AT ALL in Nokia still working on the Nokia Morph project?? It's been years since I've heard any updates
I don't have any knowledge of the morph project, I doubt it is actually a project inside Nokia. As far as I remember it was only a concept from a student.
why don't we ask some better questions and stop trying to get him in trouble...
1) is the picture a photo of someone that happens to be using the phone
2) was the photo taken at the MeeGo conf
3) does the photo show the front of the phone
4) if we show you the right photo, will you say "no comment"
1) no
2) no
3) yes
4) I can even say "yes" or "no"
The problem is I can't find it on the net and I won't upload it.
zeh, first you say you haven’t seen the device and now you are saying there is photo of that device in the web? so how can you know this, if you haven’t seen the device?
I got today the photo with the information that this is the consumer device and that it was sometime ago leaked to the internet.
