So, the main thing I got out of reading along in the live feed was: Maemo and Moblin will be cross-pollinating/sharing innovations/etc.

Which is good. Not as good as a Maemo Netbook announcement, or "Moblin is giving up, and we're all just going to use Maemo", but it's a step forward.

(I hope it doesn't mean moving away from Debian and toward Redhat... I seem to recall that a few months back, Intel announced that Moblin would move from .deb packages to RPM packages... bleh)

What exactly is good in "Moblin is giving up, and we're all just going to use Maemo"? I'd rather have two frameworks sharing ideas and code than one monopoly.

I hope this means some serious hardware improvement on Intel's part, to get battery life to competitive levels with ARM.

I find it interesting how Intel is winning this war; not like Microsoft, who goes in there and bludgeons the competition to death, but through careful alliances and negotiations with key players like Apple and Nokia. They woo the competition's clients away from the competition rather than trying to destroy the competition directly...

Very clever...

That's very nice and all.

This is what Peter said in late 2008...

"We will be able to built different kind of high-performance multimedia computers with touch screen that fit into your pocket."

We will... We will...

When will the sentence start with "we have..."?

right. especially now that we see maemo changing quite a bit on the outside... and not everybody likes these changes. having more than 1 option is always good.

This reminds me of the early 1990 ads by AT&T "You Will"... half of that stuff took almost a decade to come true.

I'm starting to liken the fact that Nokia will deliver anything close to what's hyped to be about the same timeline.

That was a great link. Thank you for that wonderful flash into the past. Thanks to AT&T, I can now send a fax from the beach!

(Wait, send a .. what?)

(EDIT: Tucked my baby in from a what?)

"Daddy?"
"Yes, dear?"
"What's a phone booth?"

Maemo 5 is a crucial step in the evolution of Maemo to a mainstream software platform. The evolution of Maemo will not stop with Maemo 5 as you indicated but continue with Harmattan and then with some release starting with an "I".

lol. Awesome sense of humor! Also, I'm really encouraged about the upcoming evolutions of the Maemo platform. It should be quite fun to see where this all ends up at.

I like this:

Ars Technica article: New Intel/Nokia partnership a huge win for mobile Linux

"Nokia's Linux-based Maemo platform, which powers the company's Internet Tablet devices, is a mature and highly-polished solution for handheld ARM devices." (???)
