Comment #1 from Andre Klapper (maemo.org) 2009-10-20 20:41:46 GMT+3 [reply]
According to the Spec the folder tree uses a GTK Tree View.
It is not planned to change this for Fremantle - keeping this open for Harmattan.
[...]

They are usually related to non-finger friendly UI's or lack of features.

Got something similar as a reply to a bug, related to the GUI, but not multitouch. The same guy though. I am not sure, why they are so anal about this topic. Either way, a road map for Maemo 5 would be nice, to see what we can rely on and on what not.

Thanks, answered: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5625#c6

It's a problem in an application (that happens to be open source, by the way). In the times of Harmattan, N900 users will have several choices for a RSS Feed Reader anyway.

osfight.de, I can provide concrete explanations if you provide concrete bug numbers.

Of course, I think lots of alternatives will appear any time soon. But for average-joe user, upgrades and improvements are expected, even if it implies changing a default application for a better one.

In the case of the example, the RSS feed reader is absolutely under featured and the UI is a mess, so I would expect to be substituted for a better application if it can't be fixed.

It's the same concept of a Linux distribution. With every release, some of the applications are improved, others are replaced with better alternatives.

If the N900 wouldn't receive an upgrade to Maemo 6, at least this kind of improvements/replacements should be done.

Thank you, anyway, for your responses and clarifications. I appreciate very much your work.

I've just placed my order for my N900 and I can only say that I feel most emphatically that I hope Maemo6 will be available in its full glory on the N900. I would hate to purchase a device that will be outmoded for no good reason, like a common WindowsMobile device! I purchased Maemo for new paradigms in mobile OSes, and I'd hate to see it not to be able to upgrade to the latest and greatest without buying new hardware.

Sure, I can see how some features may not work the same way on the N900 if the next maemo device has new hardware, but that's no reason to hold back an update. The N900 would simply not have a program version that has say, capacitive multitouch support in its repository.

farrukhgondal - the short answer is that nobody outside of Nokia knows and Nokia hasn't made an official announcement

Everyone Else - Be nice, remember that English may not be farrukhgondal's native language.

P.S. I had also hoped that it was an announcement.

Going by history, I'd expect it to. Previous models were upgradeable. But hardware requirements depend on the final feature set and functions of Maemo 6. I'm sure Nokia is trying to stay within the constraints of the N900 hardware, but sometimes the software will decide what hardware is necessary. Evidently, the hardware platform hasn't been set in stone at the moment. If it were, Nokia could simply give an answer, but they haven't, so we'll wait.

Not necessarily. You might be surprised how far in advance N900 hardware was set in stone prior to it even being publicly acknowledged by Nokia.
