So Nokia has announced the N9 will be the last MeeGo phone and the N950 will only be available to select developers. In the next few years I'll have to start looking for a replacement for the N900, but even switching to Android would be a big step back.
So the future of MeeGo is going to be hacking it onto other devices, probably devices that ship with Android. Does anyone who keeps up with these things know of any recent Android devices with hardware that could make it a worthy successor?
Of course few phones come with as much internal storage, but you can buy 64GB MicroSDs now so that's not such a big issue.
Well that doesn't have a keyboard...clearly an N900 successor needs to have one.
I clearly agree with that. One of my first request on a smartphone is a keyboard. I don't know I just can't get thru typing on a screen with my finger.
I hope that the attention of tinkerers and developers focuses on the samsung galaxy tab 7". I took one for me after some months playing with my wife's one, and I can witness it's very comfortable to use thanks to the form factor, which hits the sweet spot between portability and readability. Running a chrooted gnu-linux full distro is a breeze, since even I could do it
in the meantime Lardman et al. have been working on a native, non chrooted port of MeeGo, and once that is done I think that anything is doable.
And, it's quite cheap nowadays - I took mine for 300 Eur.
