Hi Daniel, sorry for hijacking the thread but your remark rang a bell.
All too often my E51 stops accepting BT connections from my tablet or laptop for 3G tethering. Up to now I just rebooted the phone, but it's a drag. Do you know of a better solution, or can you point me to a forum where I could look for information ?
TIA,
fpp

Either take the phone into offline profile and then get back to your profile, or quickly switch BT off and on again.
With Symbian becoming POSIX-compatible (via PIPS) and offering standard libraries for C/C++ (via S60 OpenC/OpenC++) and Qt being available on both Symbian and Maemo, maybe we'll see some sort of cross-platform SDKs in the future?
I can't see that happening at all. These are supposed to be portable internet enabled devices, they will remain pocketably small (n810 or n800 size) I believe.
I wouldn't want the pocket tablets to be discontinued, but a 9" 1280x800 tablet (Linux, ARM CPU, solid state, etc) sounds pretty good, too.
Maybe an Internet Tablet running Symbian. That'd be neat. Isn't supposed to be Open Source by now, or soon?
I read 2010, but don't have source. In any case it takes a lot of time to open source a big project such as Symbian. Just like it took Sun Microsystems a long time to open source Java. Its a lot of code, and this requires a lot of time from experts to review.
First of all, Maemo is not mentioned anywhere in that article. It is about Linux and open source software.
Second, there are quotes from a Nokia representative in there. They do not indicate what you say, nor do they indicate certainity.
The reporter writes: [...] could start to use open-source Linux software on its more expensive phone models. It doesn't say Linux kernel. It says Linux software. Resumee, it clearly says could. And last but not least, it is not a direct quote and therefore holds little value, if any. It might as well be the conclusion of the reporter based on what he observed.
What you state with as much certainity as it seems is simply not a given!
