either way wont be long 9 cssu appears after support its dropped.
and we get tons of s40 qtquick apps / symbian to play with.
S40 Qt apps...heh. Enjoy your 'Seed price guide for Indian farmers' app.
I would not count much on Symbian apps either. They aren't exactly spilling over to N900 despite Qt allready allowing that. Symbian is dying and most developers will be moving to something that has future.
Some bloke from the middle east. Been dead for ages so he won't be posting on this thread.... then again, another Manhattan device could be likened to the second coming.
... you are talking about a phone where the usual solution to a problem is to "reflash" the phone ...
and how many downloads do you do each time you reflash ?
and you are also talking about a phone where users install bootloaders, additional OSes and tinker with...
.... reflashes galore !
So the 200k figure is highly inflated.
Are you serious? we are talking about 200000 downloads per day. Even if all maemo.org active users reflashed every day and installed 100 apps there would still be 100000 downloads unaccounted for.
Of course this applies if the 200k number is correct
Any idea if N9 supports for themes and wallpapers (not just in lock screen) ?
Officially, no. Though internal support for themes still exists, and could easily be enabled with a third party GUI (or you could just make theme packages that enable themselves when installed).
Consistently changing the look of the whole device with all its applications (these days, GUIs are not just a collection of a few limited building blocks anymore), will be a lot of effort of course. On the upside, this also means that your possibilities for deep customisation are vastly increased, with application specific customisations and all.
You also have a lot more control over the actual layout of elements (if you want to go there) than you did with Fremantle customisation.
