Okay, gotta go now. I figure I have one week to come up with the ultimate $.99 mirror app. Later.

This is just plain fcuking stupid

App Stores and ecosystems = good answer to demanding market = more developing jobs = economy running = everybody happy

Freedom and openness = no 1st/3rd party support = community left to do everything = flamewars on the interwebs = basement dwellers wildest fantasies = disappointment and brand deserting

Edit:
Its pointless, most people like flashy thingies _that do nothing new_, never understand that tho, go ahead its better without these people anyway
wow! you are serious.

Or the N900/maemo5 combo is step 4 of 5.

think that makes it 4th gen too.

All I gotta say is Nokia saw this like we all saw this and if they can't build a meego phone to top the iphone 4 than well that's just on them. I would not make sense to build a kick *** phone when they can. So time will tell. Because if the meego specs are not mind blowing I will be keeping my n900 for awhile and thats odd for me seeing I usually get the latest and greatest phone that's out at the time with the brand im with.

Very interesting developments from Apple.

The increase in screen rez is nice, but not so radically superior to the N900 that it makes a big deal. You still can't do pressure-sensitive work like MyPaint on it. To me, the N900 screen still has the edge...I'd still prefer a minimum screen size of 4", however.

All the compass, gyroscope etc hardware is pure win for Apple. Why Nokia didn't include a compass is still a mystery to me. Talk about obvious requirements.

Mostly, I'm curious about the vidcall capabilities. They have actually beaten me to the punch, as I'm working on a nicer Qt interface that uses both cameras. However, I intend my vidcall client to be open-standard compliant, not "iPhone-to-iPhone"...which is lamer than a smoking monkey.

I think the augmented reality stuff might come through with this phone.

And I wonder when capacitative-resistive touchscreens will become market ready.
