Re: Nitdroid today, nice android apps and your n900

I never realy got into medical apps that much; I remember when palm pilot became popular for healthcare folks very suddenly. The hospital where I practice has institutional licenses for quite a few...

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Info Thread

Apple's app store is an unregistered trademark (http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html). Furthermore, many assert that it's a fairly generic term that predates the iPhone. I don't...

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

Nokia was building on top of the Linux kernel, GNU libs, and QT. All of the heavy lifting was done for them. They only needed to release a solid basic OS. I think that this is exactly what it...

Re: Microsoft is the plague: Nokia stock drops 14% as 1,000 employees walk out

In return, over the long term, this may cost Nokia heavily. It's been confirmed that they'll be paying a license fee on each device they produce--it might not be the $15-$20 that other manufacturers...

Re: Is there anything we can do??

Last fiscal year, Nokia spent almost $4B on research. It's almost incomprehensible that they couldn't get an OS built on linux and QT out the door with that kind of funding. If Nokia believed it...

Re: Steve Jobs on open vs closed

Texas Instruments is quoted as saying that when the OMAP4 debuts, the OMAP3 SOC's will displace ARM11 on the low end. I can understand if Meego is reserved for high-end handsets for performance...

Re: N900 five month sales less than 100,000, really?

In the first 5 weeks, the sales were hampered by availability, not by lack of interest in the device.

Re: Nokia maps with no data... what capabilities? GPS works?

Yes, as mentioned in other threads, use GPSJinni to acquire your location. It won't time out like OVI maps and it's desktop widget do. Once it locks, you can use whatever you want to navigate...

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive?

There may be some merits to the technology but the problem with Silverlight is support--the same reason people are upset in this thread. Microsoft has a history of leveraging their strength in one...

Re: Overclock the N900?

I don't know if this matters, but cpuinfo reports the same specs for the chip in the n900 as the 3530 in the beagleboard, which is used in the Touchbook as well:

plasma mobile

I know this has been mentioned in a couple of threads but, despite the early and (reportedly) unoptimized build shown here, development seems pretty active and KDE's flexible frameworks may provide a...

Re: Android is not open

While (most of) Android may be open source and continue to be, it's kernel will not be linux, but rather a fork of it. The...

Re: Maemo 6 / Harmattan on N900?

It was inevitable that this would happen. For Maemo to propagate and compete with Android and Apple, which both have DRM built in, than it would eventually have to adopt DRM too. It won't get...

Re: "Linux can compete with the iPad on price, but where’s the magic? "

Linux as a technology is very competitive. It's the implementation of it that needs to catch up. The software needs to be organized around the hardware and tightly coupled to services. That's what...

Re: Maemo 6 / Harmattan on N900?

I really don't see why multitouch alone is an exclusion for Maemo6 on the n900. It's no different than remapping mouse gestures or keyboard shortcuts. Why does there have to be only pinch to zoom,...

Re: Turn off or standby?

I'd vote for standby too. If you don't need it to be connected, switch it to offline mode. It barely uses any battery overnight.

Re: Best Movie Format / Codec

The container should be mp4 using x264 for video and aac for audio. The easiest is to use handbrake with the baseline3.0 preset which you can download on the maemo video encoding wiki. You can also...

Re: Any medical doctors out there using the n900??

Re: Fate of The great N900 maemo

The only A9 cortex that's been announced is the OMAP4 and that still, correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't taped out yet. It's been delayed and TI announced back in July if yields are good, they hope to...
