Hi. Complete tangent.

I was asked by an email to come here and find out more about the vote.

Re: N900 mockup designs from years ago vs Sidekick 4g

I wrote a good-bye message about a year ago.

I no longer work for a university. I work at a company that makes devices in this space (competing with Nokia), and is a target of rumors and such......

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

Maemo/Meego is so mature that it has been deployed on how many generations, iterations, and models of phones? And not from a company that focuses on a single product line, but from a company that...

Re: Should Nokia buy Notion Ink and release the ADAM running MeeGo?

Sorry, but I disagree. The Adam got it right: 10" is the perfect tablet size.

Re: Should Nokia buy Notion Ink and release the ADAM running MeeGo?

Should Nokia put out a 10" pixelqi based touchscreen tablet running Meego, with USB Host ports, full size SDHC card slot, and an HDMI out port? Yes. Though, I'd prefer mini-DVI-I and 1280x720...

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?

Hasn't this ship sailed?

Shouldn't we be talking about what we want/hope to see in the N910 or N1000 or whatever?

Re: Nexus One vs Nokia n900, what would you recommend?

Like all non-trivial questions, the only real answer is:

It Depends.

It depends on what you're looking for. It depends on whether or not you want/need command line access. It depends on...

Re: Can someone tell me why N900 and not Android?

One way to address would be/could be:

1) distribute the byte-code as the central distribution point, with optional native code segments.
2) when _installing_ the application (part of the...

Re: CNET: The $199 tablet according to Freescale

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

I'm not saying that there's no demand for any such devices. I'm saying that there isn't enough demand/room for "yet another such device". Nokia left...

Re: CNET: The $199 tablet according to Freescale

Basically, Nokia was well ahead of the curve with the 770. They basically made the first MID, before anyone knew what a MID was. The N800 and N810 moved that concept forward, and then, right when...

I believe that it's classified as "Foxcon is making devices for Apple", not "Apple is reselling Foxcon devices". The difference being that no one else can buy and re-sell those same devices, and...

Re: The Google Nexus One

I believe when it hit the FCC, it only had support for T-Mobile-USA, not AT&T.

I think it was posted to Engadget, but I'm not sure. I didn't keep the article :-}

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors

That is the whole plan. It includes no minutes and no text messages ($.20/min for calls, not sure about the per message cost for SMS/MMS). If you put it in a data device (card, dongle, internal...
