Intel did pull their Meego titled netbook download. Right now there is no Meego distribution in the wild. Instead of using "!" (not) maybe we should use "~" (approximately) and entitle Maemo 6...

Re: N900. After 5 month it's a total delusion
For what it is, I would tend to agree with you and I think your points in response to Endri are useful. If the next product is to be better than this product, we should be discussing weaknesses as...

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
But from their point of view, what's stupid about it? It will cost them money to make Meego work on the N900. It will not sell any new units. And I strongly suspect that this community will not want...

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
I fear you are right but you shouldn't be. A developer should program for the most capable device and both the app and the OS should gracefully degrade the app when the capability doesn't exist. If...

Re: Why to buy n900 now?
To slightly rephrase most of the previous comments:
If the N900 with its current software and current hardware meets your needs and price range, then buy it.
If you are looking for software...
