June 11, 2007 = Skype + New OS - Page 4 - maemo.org

Texrat | # 31 | 2007-05-31, 23:36 | Report

In my new position, I'm a little removed from my old sources (

) so I have had to use indirect methods of gauging progress. That's all I'll divulge. If the new OS releases June 11, and Skype is also available, I will be pleasantly surprised. 'nuff said.

But I really will be in Finland then, so maybe I'll get to bother my old sources directly again.

I really don't care what date you suggest, nor do I wish to enter into a potentially financial transaction with you. If you're right great, if not my opinion of you is unlikely to change.

Unfair!! If I am right I want to be called your geek god.

I wouldn't bet on this date either!

I told you I KNOW it's June 11,2007... WHY INSULT ME CUZ I KNOW INSIDE INFO?

You know, I develop software for a living. I have to give release dates to my users, but every now and again we find a bug during testing which delays our release date. I get it in the neck, but hey - sh1t happens.

Maybe the N800 firmware will be released on 11 June, but you really should apply a degree of uncertainty to your absolute statements unless you are in receipt of accurate daily updates from Nokia on the progress of the firmware. If your information was given to you a week or more ago - which I believe it was as you've been quoting it for some time now - it's entirely possible the date has changed in order to ensure a quality release.

That's all Texrat and I are saying to you.

June 11, 2007 is the date the software is being released. That's all I am saying to you. It's 100% at this stage.
