I don't see his trademarked tongue being out look... nor sweat stains... or his full-on raging boner for screwing over some company.

Naw. I don't see it.

Dunno if this is mentioned yet but TI is soon going to release a complete 2d driver for Omap socs.
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=OTg3MA

TI's developer also explained in the forum why they haven't made the 3d parts open source yet.

Now as Intel is also using sgx for some socs there still is hope that imgtec will give up beeing hostile towards open source drivers.

Edit: If the rest of the driver is working properly there might be a chance to reverse engineer the 3d part. Afaik the open source Nouveau 3d driver for Nvidia chips is 100% made without any help from Nvidia whatsoever so it might be possible to do the same for sgx.

TI OMAP main advance other SoC it's battery life.

and also they use PoweVR chips for the SoC. which are pretty decent.

bounce 3d version n900 looked quite nice for an old hardware, sadly it's the only game that show it, and it was was done by the guys of Rovio. (angry birds).

on specs n900 support same opengl set than ps3. but inferior hardware.

Just some OT irony for those that can handle it

Being lurking over at forums.precentral.net for the past 2 weeks. I think we should all join up...they have lost all their dinky WebOS toys and there is doubt about the future of WebOS.

SImilar to TMO/Nokia Land...we have lost all our dinky Maemo/Meego toys and there is no doubt about the future of Maemo/Meego and Nokia

Did already - scored a Pre 3 and an account on the forum to create some fan noise. (this phone beats iPhone4 but still sux compared to N900 blah blah ) The required app(le) store activation procedure for this phone make me feel like I just got a dog out of the asylum and the first thing it did was pissing all around my living room. But it's ok and also exclusive

I'm talking about your claim that WP7 will take-over. Is that based on some kind of trend or something? How did you arrive at that?

Would this FINALLY include the goddam elusive N8x0 drivers for video? This comes a little late for the Maemo line, it seems. The whole platform is already dying off. Texas Instruments (and IMG, apparently). Great job letting us down.

If we read updated FAQ between the lines I begining to wonder:

first of I really think N9 will be supported but question is how? Could it actually be in a different way than FOSS people like me hopes

something abill_uk and erisson will like too

Just say they Nokia in a half year and saying "you will now get a free upgrade to wp8" Yeha..o

that would be the best strategy for wp fanboys like abilluk/ericsson and mrflop.

but at tthe same time. I dont care cause I know MeegoCE will continue same way as linux on desktop. The FOSS will continue pissing on MrFlop wp strategy.
