Indeed hot, is there a possibility of adding maps and navigations to MeeGo DE now that Nokia has chosen and different path?

Elop is seeing that as we are, it was an Intel project. MeeGo does indeed also use telepathy for its' IM backend.

The "MeeGo" that Nokia is/was working on is actually more like Maemo 6 than MeeGo. I think Elop saw Maemo 6 not close enough to the "real" MeeGo, thought Intel's MeeGo should be the thing for Nokia to work on, but deemed that too immature to use as #1 platform and didn't go with it full force just yet.

I think this could be the reason for suddenly flagging a N900 MeeGo release with a green flag (MeeGo DE). They want MeeGo in-house ASAP, but will also give Maemo 6 a chance.

Could be talking out of my behind here, but I trust stskeeps to correct me where he can.

I have no idea what Elop thinks. Also, please say "MeeGo.com", not Intel's MeeGo, it offends us who works on MeeGo ARM

I don't know what the reason is for the DE approval, I speculated in a thread somewhere, you can read what I thought. It's in everyone's interest to get a proper meego.com that looks, feels and tastes nice.

DE's more of a playground that may yield something remotely usable for hacker types, not a Nokia product

I am sorry now I being a bit offtopic but must repsonse to your comment:

well thats why Microsoft want Nokia... They want to steal the best technology from QtQuick in the software area.
History has shown it before when companys has started to work with Microsoft

With that I dont mean they actually will take Qt and make it closed but there is other ways. For example make no people/companys use Qt by spreading FUD, that includes Elop and then ripoff the best stuff and implement it in theyr OS (WP7).

To mee its obvious Elop is sponsored by Microsoft and at the moment the Nokia employers/qtconsults including some board members figting hard too convince people too continue using Qt. All those people including me knows that Microsoft is only winner if people stop make apps for Qt(Quick) on Maemo/Meego/Symbian. So its nice to see every new QtQuick app created atm :-)



/offtopic

Also nice to see the UI rewritten in QtQuick to me it seems bad idea continue handset UI cause its written in C++ and make it harder to change withourt breaking API etc.. My guess it is also far more simple make UI with QtQuick than with old QtWidgets

OK I am sorry, I did try to think of a decent term to describe the two MeeGos. MeeGo.com is good.

has anyone been able to load it successfully on a n900?


i cannot get it on the n900.

please post your sequences if you wouldnt mind!

i doubt it, they named n950 a one device.
demed meego a research project, and say after it it going to move developers somewhere else.

If you have the U-Boot(for Power-Kernel) installed, you can start it easily from the microsd card. That Works 100%

Write the raw image only to the Microsd an insert them to the n900.
