Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12

I think it would be more like:

Elop: "Come in!"
Dev: "Just to ask, how much will it cost..."
Elop: "Wait, who are you again?"
Dev: "Oh, I'm the Maemo guy. I..."
Elop pulls trapdoor lever, dev...

Re: Any *decent* browser for the N900?

As Scorpius said, that's the price of progress. While the "full desktop experience" (including Flash) is (was) one of the main high points of the device web developers nowadays don't really consider...

Re: Ludicrousity Reloaded - N9 Inductive Charging via Touchstone

Btw, just found the youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAqP3T_Mbzg) for the equivalent SGS3 "hack" (when comparing it with above procedure it doesn't really deserve that label ;)).

Re: Ludicrousity Reloaded - N9 Inductive Charging via Touchstone

Very cool. I was planning to do the same thing once I got the N9. but alas, it seems I can't bring myself to fork money over to Microkia, now even less than before. Moreover, ironically the SGS3...

Re: Galaxy S III - THIS is how you release your flagship device

Yep, another strategic step that makes sense. It takes an investment of 500,000 USD to become platinum member and gets you a seat at the foundation's board of directors and thus more insight and...

Galaxy S III - THIS is how you release your flagship device

I've been following the release of the new Galaxy S III fairly closely and was constantly thinking to myself: this is how Nokia should have done it.

The Galaxy SIII was announced beginning May...

Re: Pay nokia to make another n900 with new hardware.

Seeing as MS is "donating" 1 billion USD (http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011/03/07/microsoft-paying-nokia-1-billion-for-5-years-plus-deal/) to the cause of getting rid of Nokia's open source...

Re: N9 or SGS2 for someone who likes development?

For me the question is more to the tune: still get a 64GB N9 or wait for the Galaxy S3. Though nothing is officially confirmed for the S3 it's safe to assume it will be a noticeable upgrade from the...

Re: NITdroid Alpha Release #1 is out

The N9 has the same CPU/GPU combo as the Samsung I9003 (Galaxy SL) (http://www.mobile88.com/mobilegallery/comparephone.asp?compare=22119&compare=22039), so any app that runs there should run on the...

Re: Siilihai Web Forum Reader

Is there a server-less mode too (i.e. saving locally)? I kind of like being independent from a server so the app would still work if the server went down or was hacked or whatnot. RSS readers work...

Re: Getting new phone: N9 or N900?

Imho not that surprising. This is a forum of tinkerers. And unlike all Maemo devices up to the N900, the N9 was designed to be less hackable/extendable, the major culprits being:

Re: nokia should wake up and use N9 as flagship

The N950 could have been the "business" model, as someone mentioned in another thread, a "communicator" device aimed at managers, executives etc. You know, Nokia's high mark-up market segment that...

You could set up a paypal account and a simple site for the donations, that way people could also decide what it's worth to them (probably more than 1.-)

Re: Linux and my N900 - What can I do now?

You can now start apps, they will be executed on your laptop, but all the rendering info will be sent to your N900, instead of to the laptop screen. Some apps are gltichy though, such as firefox,...

Re: Linux and my N900 - What can I do now?

It's extremely easy to log into your N900's "terminal" via ssh. Could be done with Putty in Windows but on Linux it's just part of the system. I prefer "guake" as terminal on Ubuntu, it opens a...

Re: N9 Apps - n9-apps.com launching soon..

Rivalize? I believe the commonly accepted term is "compete", the more (enthusiastic) websites about the N9 the better. It's easy to be bitter and cynical about Nokia these days, so any well-spirited...
