And second, it was already known that next version is coming out in first half of 2010, but for resale in later 2010, maybe 2011 Q1.
Oh come on . . . that is too cool . . . . can the N900 really do this . . . and if so please give it too us . . . . what are you waiting for . . . . I will beta test . . . . Do you see the visual effect from vertical to horizontal ????!?!?!?!
The phone looks like a N900 but reads N00?!?!
what gives Nokia???
Does the N900 have the proper hardware to do Landscape to Portrate as shown on the video???!?
The current version of Qt on N900 is 4.5.something, and I believe 4.6 is coming soon. Out of interest, what was the blog post you mention in your first post in this thread?
When buying any electronics you should buy what is the best for you NOW and enjoy it. Prices go down and new models come up all the time. If you are always gonna wait for the next version, you could be waiting for ever!
The Qt port to Maemo 5 is designed specifically to work within the Maemo 5 environment, which will power the upcoming Nokia N900 device. The port itself will be based on Qt’s upcoming version 4.6 and is scheduled for final release in Q1 of 2010.
Like we all are here waiting for Nokia's mercy to provides us the portrait mode UI. But so far no official words from Nokia that portrait will become available anytime soon.
IIRC, it was stated clearly and officially that Nokia will not include portrait mode UI for the system UI (=the desktop, the task switcher, the application menu) in Maemo5. No need to wait.
how narrow minded is the guy that made this thread? n900 has the hardware, all it needs is a software update.
Actually doesn't it also depend on how _broad minded_ the devs are? For example if they make the screen capacitive only and fully dependant on a TPM chip... Of course I really hope they don't do something as bad as this!
