Re: Joiku for n900 available :)

Firstly, what did you expect on an open computing device? It being technically possible to copy software is completely normal. The system works because people pay up anyway.

Secondly, since you've...

Re: Orange is getting into MeeGo!

No, it wouldn't. It's basic 'tivoisation' and version two of the GPL does nothing to stop it.

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

It could, which is why I'm suggesting having someone like the council filter it down to a basic list of things we really need to know, rather than declaring open season.

It's a compromise, and...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

I think what I would like to see come out of this discussion is for some representative(s) of the community (e.g. the Council) to compile a list of hot-topic questions, and for someone from Nokia...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

MeeGo is supposed to run on phones, netbooks, cars and TVs, amongst other things. I think a high level of hardware abstraction is pretty much a given.

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

To be honest, as far as the 'FUD' question goes, it doesn't matter whether Harmattan is going to be available on the N900. What matters is that we know what the plans are either way. Until we do,...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

Harmattan. Not yet, obviously, but when it's out I see no reason that it shouldn't be supported on the N900 in the same way that the latest iPhone OS releases are available on all the existing iPhone...

Well, since you ask, how about just one, Apple's announcement of the iPhone OS 3.0 update:

A few select quotes:

The iPhone is something of a special case though, and everyone else's failure to beat Apple at that game proves it. If Nokia and others are going to compete against Apple in the...

I think you're wrong. Take the example of Intel's approach to graphics card drivers, for example. As a rule, by the time a new chipset hits retail they have free drivers already published, already...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

This discussion appears to have led to a fair degree of consensus that what is required is more openness from Nokia. If you want to solve the 'FUD' problem, that's your solution.

That very much depends if you think you're in the mobile phone sector, or the community supported open source OS sector.

I certainly hope it didn't, and it wasn't intended to. I entirely endorse the idea that something is better than nothing, and I thoroughly support konttori's proposal.

OK, but what is the topic of this thread - solving the communications problems, or stopping people talking about them in inconvenient manners?

So allay the fears, clear up the uncertainty, and remove the doubt.



The fears are reasonable. Nokia has a pretty clear track record of abandoning the older platforms, and simply saying...
